Some can of worms with the Olympic corruption.

Some can of worms with the Olympic corruption.

Jones lost 2-3 to South Korean Park-Si-Hun in the final of the light middleweight (71kg) division in the Seoul Games despite landing 86 punches to the home favourite's 32

Also Jones was awarded the best boxer during the tournament!

I'm sure we could go back even further to find bigger disgraceful decisions

Worked with a trainer years ago, lovely fella, knew his boxing inside out, he always said when the Ulster lads headed to the National stadium for the All Ireland's they generally had to stop their southern opponents to get the win

Probably happened at every games when it comes to boxing or any sport where judges are involved. Even big AJ got one or two dodgy decisions in 2012 with one against Felix Savons nephew. Sure look at the craic with the Chinese in 2008, in some fights it was near impossible to score a point against them.

Remember that fight. Jones was doing exhibitions punches in the last round. Sort of a lap of honour.

And the scores of times Ulster lads won bouts on points (which is how the vast majority of amateur bouts at that level are decided) is just the exception to the rule.

Im going back over 30 years ago I might add.

Thoughts on Fury Wilder 3?

Thoughts on Fury Wilder 3?

Have a feeling Wilder is going to KO Fury. However, if he doesn't, Fury will win easy on points. Just a pity it wasn't on a decent time

It's a great time for us west coasters!

Smith v Fowler on Saturday night should be good fight, would expect Smith on points. Couple of other good fights on the undercard or it too.  Can't see Wilder troubling Fury. Fury by stoppage

Smith Fowler will be good. Mad that Wilder is going straight into the rematch off the back of that hiding. Anything could happen though, but you would imagine that Fury would stop him again. Unless some of the cheating theories are true and Fury is found out this time.
