The_Kincardine Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just now, Ray Poplawski said: It's just infuriating, paints the sport in a terrible light to everyone watching. Russian looked so embarrassed getting his gold medal I didn't watch the medal ceremony. I thought it was an injustice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yeah, an utterly dreadful decision. Had all three rounds to Levit. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco30 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Good to see him tell it exactly how it is. Absolute disgrace with levit won all 3 rounds. Not seen the conlan fight but if it's even half as bad he will have been the victim of a huge injustice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm sure all of the matchroom fans supporting GGG-Brook will also be supporting Cotto-Gamboa [emoji6] Made at 150 I was reading? Possibly in the minority here but weightclasses don't really do anything for me, the belts are meaningless and I want to see boxers I'm interested in fight in interesting fights. This ticks the boxes for me. Cotto will win of course but I'll watch happily. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Photo of the tournament imo Just to make it hurt even more for Conlan, the Russian fighter has pulled out of the semis final due to injuries, though he claims they were from earlier fights than the Conlan one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Damon Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 So Floyd turns up in Rio, signs Stevenson to his TMT promotion team... Conlan is Stevensons main rival to get into the gold medal fight, Conlan gets robbed by judges that are then sacked for "poor performances". Maybe I'm reading too much into it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nikitin has withdrawn due to injury sustained in the Conlan fight, Stevenson progresses to the final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Wish I'd checked the forum earlier I've rushed home from work done a half hearted effort in the gym so I could see Stevenson in action and he got a walkover... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 What a star that Cuban Ramirez is. Outstanding. Reminds me of Kell brook with his timing and technique and always in s position to throw punches. Should be a great final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just watched that Conlan fight I think this "robbery" has been vastly over exaggerated. I thought conlan won the first round fighting at longer range and dictating the pace and distance. 2nd he starts having a scrap and he's hitting a lot of gloves and getting caught a lot. 3rd could go either way. Fair enough id probably have given him the fight on balance but it's hardly the most clear cut robbery ever. Sounds like the commentators had a story in their heads and just saw what ever reinforced that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The only reason this is being made a big deal is 1. Because Conlan is Irish(same story if he was a Brit) 2. His opponent was Russian 3. There was a Russian fight robbery the night before. Take away they 3 factors and nobody would give a toss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
