Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Loses Split Nod Decision Day 11 at Rio Olympics

[juandabomb]

Russell lost the first round but I felt he pulled off the 2 & 3 with good power shots. by the end of the 2nd round the other dude was gassed. bad decision IMO..in a pro fight russell would have ko'd that dude in the 3rd or 4th round. Cuban & Uzbekistan fighters have the same similiar style, think of lara.

Olympic boxing is the most absurd scoring method of any sport in the Olympics... 5 guys trying to push a button w/in 1 second of each other... I don't watch it, only track and field ...Usain Bolt...

Russell clearly lost. The other guy landed the cleaner shots.

it wasn't a robbery. I would say he has no one but himself to blame for the loss. He could/should have put more into it.

He put more into that the other guy.

Not surprised to see this nonsense coming from you.

Suuuure

Just like Conlan clearly lost.

I don't even like Russell or his brother but he clearly won the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Did a lot of good work.

I don't like them as fighters, not personally.

Yeah its only a bad decision because this tin can lost.
You can make an argument he lost to the guy representing Haiti and then clearly robbed the Thai himself.

This is just karma since it'll hurt him so much more since it would've secured him a medal.
