gnasher16 30,269 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) I don't know what you all think of the Joe Joyce result, but i think he was robbed. It was the only fight i watched in the whole Olympics but i dont think Joyce did enough to win myself......you couldnt ask for more in terms of effort and desire but the quality just wasnt there.... in amateur boxing pressure doesnt amount to much if your not landing scoring punches its why ive never been a big fan of the amateur sport its not a true reflection of the ups and downs of a competitive fight in my opinion.

TOMO 26,468 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 What a f***ing awesome game that was. Women's GB hockey Olympic champions! The Dutch were clearly class, relentless in their attacks and possession but our ladies were scrappy and clinical in capitalising the opportunities they got. Maddie Hinch shone out as exceptional! I've been following this team through this tournament and properly chuffed for them. What makes it even better is,,,we only had 366 competitors,,,,in London we had around 500 odd if memory serves me... Even better Australia only came 9th,,,and had 420 ,,,,wankers,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,468 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've seen virtually nothing of the olympics ,,,with being away,,I did see a bit of the gymnastics,,,, That yank girl that got gold,,had some physique on her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
