Man, fuck Rudy.

Italy have appealed the decision. Really weird scoring. I didn't think Cammarelle won the first two rounds by 3 points and I didn't think Joshua won the final round by 3 points. It wasn't a travesty a la Roy Jones, as it was a really close match, but AIBA should sort themselves out and change the very fallible format of the scoring system, or else IOC should drop boxing from the Olympics. Too much other shit has happened in this Olympics alone (I'm thinking of the Azerbaijanis) for this to continue.

 

[sprsk]

I'd like to see the % of regular points vs free throws.

International rules fucking suck.

 

[saelz8]

Nice diving, Spain.

 

[LanceVance]

Good, everybody knows who won that match.

Yep it was clearly Joshua

 

[Piggus]

That wasn't a flop...

His legged got touched, there was a delay, and then he acted like he got shot in an action movie. :/

 

[Shameless]

Olympic medallists Sir Chris Hoy, Jessica Ennis, Victoria Pendleton, Louis Smith and Pete Reed are joined by a number of other athletes from Team GB in their own version of Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now'

Who's the goddess at 0.49?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Busquets has paid a visit to the Spanish basketball team.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Good, everybody knows who won that match.

Joshua? Cammarelle didn't do enough in the first two to overcome the third round.

 

[Pollux]

Can someone explain the discrepancy between NBA rules and the bullshit FIBA rules?

 

[Nolan.]

''Who is here supporting the United States of America let me hear you make some nooooiiiiseee' ...

 

[friskykillface]

Lol 1 point game



I think Melo will hit some 3's in the 3rd , he looks pissed.

 

[LTWheels]

Who's the goddess at 0.49?

I thought it was Laura Trott.

 

[Akkad]

International basketball is garbage and embarrassing, buncha of talentless hacks, actors and cunts.

 

[trineo_feo]

Awesome basketball game so far, just like Beijing 2008

 

[Baby Milo]

Is this going to be the excuse should USA lose?

Surely they can't be that different or difficult for elite athletes to adapt to.

 

[seattle6418]

USA nees to bitchslap these flopping bastards. No wonder they look like the argentinians, they colonized there and it's clear where this flopping culture comes from.

It's been there for awhile, really...

But it's the US' fault they're in this position right now. Coach K should hammer this down though...

Spoiler

This Spanish team is such a freaking disgrace.

 

[danwarb]

Hmm. Come on Spain then!

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wait, Spain are pretty much level with the US in basketball?!

But I thought the US team were supposed to be this unstoppable beast team of NBA players? How does that work?

 

[Fjord]

Dat skippin

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

His legged got touched, there was a delay, and then he acted like he got shot in an action movie. :/

It was sarcasm.

 

[Awesome]

Not surprised, the BBBofC is one of the most corrupt organizations out there, they are just pampering Joshua for the pro's.

Hopefully boxing is removed for Rio and beyond, it was nothing but a pathetic show and it's clear that people are buying the medals.

 

[AngryMoth]

On appeal Joshua wins by a wider margin :lol

 

[Zaph]

You know it's bad when the BBC commentators are praising the US team for handling the bullshit well...

 

[Piggus]

It's half time. If you've been paying attention, you'd know they start to pull away in the second half.

That said, Spain is playing well, if not a bit dirty with their bullshit flopping.

Waddell has died


Darts will never be the same.

Yeah it's a real shame, he was maybe the wittiest commentator ever, whatever the sport

Brilliant, deserved.

What on earth does the result have to do with the BBC? Also BBC don't show any pro boxing so there's nothing in it for them.

 

[The Frankman]

Flop city, yo,
Flop Flop City yo,
Flop city, yo,
Flop Flop City yo,

I see Rudy Fernandez trying to D up on me down low,
gonna take him to the hoop, he got the flopping flow,
Snapped his head back like he took a mortal blow,
He gets the ref whistle, smiles at me like "LOL YOU BETTER KNOW",
How can one represent their country and have no pride doe,
To resort to flying all over the court for?

Flop city, yo,
Flop Flop City yo,
Flop city, yo,
Flop Flop City yo,

What have BBBC got to do with this?

That match could have gone either way, there was no clear winner. The scoring was sort of inflated for both boxers.

Spain has 2 of the top 10 big men in the NBA...

I've not been following the basketball tournament these Games. All I know about basketball is that the US have this beast player, Le Bron Bryant.

 

[danwarb]

Joshua won that fight, just. Correct decision.

 

[Awesome]

BBBofC not BBC, they are just molding Joshua to be the next Lewis but everybody knows that he is never going to be as good as Lennox. Joshua shouldn't have even been in this gold medal fight, he clearly lost to Savon but of course many people are denying that.
