not very sporting of the Italians. There fighter seemed to know he lost it at the end of the fight. The italian trainers were being typical italian about it by waving there hands around in an over dramatic way.

Big A Force would have knocked these 3 into next week if he had got into the ring for them, I know for a FACT that the Klitchko's refused to fight him

.......cause they knew one man and his dog would be the maximum crowd for a fight with Audrey.

Brilliant -after the protest h been thrown out, and the result stands - it just happens to be the ITALIAN IOC member, presenting Joshua with his gold medal.

what is count back ? The other guy won 2 rounds


That proves what you know about amateur boxing. Stick to railway time tables and your two long standing jokes.
Price might be beating Fraudley up soon. Always good to throw the up and coming fighters some old meat to sharpen them up for the real fights. Better than hitting the bag all day.

Bronze, I believe.

He's still going to flatten A-Farce though.

Your right it was a Bronze ref stopped the fight in the second round as he went 10-1 down to this years losing finalist Roberto Cammarelle, Fraudley will quit before the end of the third

Still no-one's explained how the hell countback works

It was explained on BBC today as: there are five judges; the main scores are done by each judge giving their own score for each round, the highest and lowest are then discarded and an average taken of the middle three scores. After the three rounds are added together, if there is a tie then countback consists of going over the original scores made by each judge for each round. An average is taken of all five scores for each round to see if it differs from the original result. I don't know what happens if this still results in a draw, but it may be similar to the review which followed the Italian appeal today which involved the original judges and additional judges watching the complete match back and re-scoring it as live.
