Olympic boxing

As feared. The Russian landed a few heavy punches, and that seems to impress the corrupt bastards more. That first round was a travesty.

[imtommygunn]

That is sickening. Really thought he could have won the gold.

[yellowcard]

Ridiculous. Not as bad as last nights heavyweight final where another Russian got the decision mind you but ridiculous nonetheless.

First round was the clincher. Conlon won 2 rounds clearly.
Arguably Russian landed best shots in the third.

Joke of a sport. Should be thrown out to fook.

[balladmaker]

Unbelievable, Conlan won that fight, he definitely won the first two rounds, and definitely wasn't beaten in the 3rd!  Talk about corrupt!

[ashman]

Time to pull out of these competitions .  Conlan blaggarded . 

[The Gs Man]

f**king joke.

Agree. The third round was much more level, and he did land a few. If it was the old system though, I'm sure Conlon would have had more scoring shots, but the Russians were heavier. He wanted to walk forward, take punishment and land heavy shots, like a certain type of Pro boxer. Amateur boxing should be about technical skills, landing punches and avoiding punches.

unreal decision, 4 years work for that! bbc men  'speechless' 'robbed' re the result

29-28 for all 3 rounds (keep it close nudge nudge wink wink)

Some interview there from Conlan

[ashman]

This "regarding the aggressor " is bollox .  The game is hooky .

[imtommygunn]

What'd he say?

[AZOffaly]

Fucked and blinded all around him, and called it corrupt. That was a brilliant interview.

That on RTE or BBC?

[moysider]

Maybe they should have given Conlon time to calm down before talking to him. Poor lad. How can any kid dedicate to a joke of a sport like that?
