15-10....right winner but too wide IMO.

Nice one Ogogo, guranteed himself a medal.

I thought it was a lot closer then that.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Strange scoring again...the commentators are discussing it now.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Absolutely shocked by that result!

Might be a stupid question, but how can we have guaranteed medals at the semi final stages? There are four boxers left in, so who loses out? Or are there two bronze medals?

 

[Triggaaar]

Yes very annoying not showing the points, I expect it's so we can't see when good punches aren't scoring, which often creates controversy.

They said a few days ago it was so that the judges wouldn't see it and be influenced, or something like that.

In the round he knocked the Chinese guy down, he was given the round 8-6, which was a complete joke, he completely bossed the round.

Boxing gives bronze to the two losing semi finalists with the winners fighting for gold and silver.

The Chinaman sure could take a punch! There must have been something wrong with the camera, as Joshua was never hit properly 11 times.

I thought it was a strange score.

I see a knock down seems to be the same score as any other scoring punch.

Is it just me thinking Women boxing is just not right? I expect there will be some serious health issues for many of the women-it can't be good getting punched in the breasts like they do.

[Questions]

What on earth has happened to U.S. amateur boxing ? Did they get anyone into a final ? They used to dominate in the old days with Cuba. Such famous names in the past but very little coming through their ranks now.

 

[Triggaaar]

What on earth has happened to U.S. amateur boxing ?

Maybe they're doing UFC instead.

I've got better things to do than watch this

I wish someone would tell Evans he get can hit back. Come on son. Totally outclassed.

 

[Bladders]

Talk about one sided.
