YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are doing what? It's a new point scoring system. I assume you mean not telling the fighters what the points are, but that can't be the issue, can it?

Although she might get a few free points from the crowd.

This is getting beyond a joke. There were another couple of appalling decisions tonight, with Karneyeu of Belarus getting the shaft despite beating up his Azeri opponent, Mammadov. Then we had Russo, an Italian wrestler who had apparently entered the boxing by mistake, getting given the win despite spending the whole fight giving his Cuban opponent, Larduet, the full Greco-Roman treatment.
Karneyeu actually came back out after the Russo - Larduet fight and raised Larduet's hand. Two more appeals to add to the ever growing list.

She was just on. The opponent spent most of the fight trying to goad her, even doing that cartoony pete townsend arm windup thing.

That Tajik was fucking good. A really quick counterpuncher with a mean streak. Taylor won but I thought the scores were a bit generous.
Adams, the British fighter also looked good earlier on.

Been too busy to watch the boxing.
Did anyone see Irish and British fans booing Cameron and is it available anywhere online?
How's the "British" Katie Taylor doing?

A pic from the 1948 Olympic boxing. Note, not only all the empty seats - but the fact that the ring is suspended over a swimming pool!

Excellent for the Irish and Brits - 2 women in the finals and 7 fellas in the semis 
The only bet I put on for the womens was for Clarissa Shields of the US, Bet365 were offering 22/1 back in July so could be a happy day as I have £50 on her to win Gold.
Barnes is up against it facing Zou who won Gold in Beijing but should be a cracker.
I have tickets for today and tomorrow so am well chuffed.
