Today - India At Olympics 2012

[coffee_rules]

really? losers of semis dont play for bronze?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_are_2_bronze_medals_awarded_in_Olympic_Boxing If they get KOed in SF and lose, they can't play for sometime. Hence both losing SFs get a bronze medal.

in 10 mins - 16-15 Go Vijender thru to QFs. If he wins in QFs one more match and he will get a bronze for sure (all SFs get a medal!)

His next fight is with the number 3 seed Atoev (2 time world champ)

yeah losers of semis get bronze..It is a bit strange as in badminton there is a bronze medal match.

why dont we get easy games??? jeez.. another uphill battle.

[putrevus]

not at all impressive match from Vijender , how won more on guile than skill in this match. If this is what he is, then it is tough for him moving on.

It's not all bad though. Vijender beat him 7:0 at the Asian games

atoev sucks. didn't even deserve to make it this far, got schooled by that romanian. vijender has got this.

he played shrewdly :dontknow:

He played the match before Vijender's. Compact boxer with a good defense and doesn't move around much but he was exhausted and in the end and dominated by the Romanian Juratoni, however, the judges gave it in favor of Atoev 12-10. :dontknow:

I have posted this before too....Vijayender has kinda cracked the code.....He knows how to earn points....As I said amateur boxing is not about beating up your opponent... Kind of like say Zaheer Khan....no pace or exceptional swing but has a plan how to pick up wickets....not the best analogy but that's what I can think of right now.... Hopefully,the judges don't screw him over

[maniac]

So guys not a bad day at all eh....Paes/Sania,Saina,Vijeyender,Vijay Kumar? What do you think Also add Heartening performance by Kashyap

[Manny_Pacquiao]

u guys can enjoy another USA vs India fight tomorrow when vikas krishan fights errol spence...that will be fun to watch... i'm pulling for an american guy to win one, can't stand seeing all of 'em getting knocked out so early.

[GautiMaan]

this might be the last time indians can win boxing medals because pro boxers will participate in Rio olympics.

How much difference will it make if the rules remain the same?

[Roshanrocks]

Vijender :aha:

[Prudent]

Just saw the highlights...little bit of luck favored him I guess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFZibgCNRqM&feature=player_embedded#t=1120s
