briggaman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 ....and the bitching between Lewis and Bolt goes on. Anyway I think that this Olympics has been amazing. I heard people say the best ever with regards to the organisation and the performances. Its between Beijing and London. But my Olympic memory only goes back to the 90s. It's been great from start to end. The coverage from the BBC has made it for me. It's been good having it here aswell because the sports have all been on at watchable hours. When it's on in other countries it's often difficult to catch things without staying up until 3am in the morning. Shame about the ticketing though as it's been a complete mess and has ruined it for many people. Quite a big fault in what has otherwise been an amazing couple of weeks.

briggaman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Oh well, the next boxing final we're in (Joshua) starts at 15:15. Hopefully we'll pick up a gold there. Plus team USA play in the basketball final at 14:50 against Spain. I expect USA to win, yet it will be their toughest game so far. Gasol v USA basically...

West Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Italian was robbed in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I disagree, West. Lucky to be up by a point in the first round and that was only because he had a good 20 seconds, and how he won the second round by 2 was beyond me and then Joshua battered him the last.

Oaks Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 18 - 18 at the end. How does that work? Giro count back ie how many times the button was pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Italian was robbed in my opinion Not a chance. You could argue that Joshua should have been up by more in the last round. Great comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if the Italian won it would have been an injustice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Italians have appealed. New set of judges have to watch the fight and re-score. Agree with what Lennox and Khan are saying, for me Joshua should've had it by at least a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Oh, well that's what they said on BBC just. If it's just countback, which has already been done, how would the result change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
