heywoodu 13,552 Posted October 25, 2019 #131 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Finally got to watching all finals, good to see at least there were no weird results there I kept score after every round and apparently had 7 of 8 winners correct except for the very last one If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I had no idea about who was supposed to be the better boxer before the finals, so I basically started from a neutral standpoint and in all of the first seven finals I watched, my three-round score added up to the same winner as the official winner, so yeah I think those were the right verdict indeed. When watching the super heavyweight final I thought Kunkabayev was better, specifically in the first two rounds where Jalolov was mostly just pushing him, holding him and otherwise avoiding him, but he might have made up for it with a good third round so I can accept that one.
