For anyone that is interested in seeing what biased judging is all about, turn it on chanel seven now and watch the boxing. Australia's heavyweight Adam Forsyth is boxing the schit out of this Egyptian guy but is down 12 points to 4. Incredible. The head of the judging is surprise, surprise, Egyptian.

Now I understand how Roy Jones only won a silver when he faced that Korean hack in Seoul.

Hopefully they'll replay it later in the day for us people who "work" John :-)
What are the commentators saying?
Post it on BigFooty and call the Gypos crooks - see if you get a reaction out of Cairo lol

That was one of the worst decisions I have ever seen in boxing. And I have seen plenty, Lewis v Holyfield I, Whitaker v Chavez, Whitaker v Ramirez, Ali v Norton I and III, Fenech v Nelson I, the list goes on. These fights have nothing on this decision. The Australian probably outpunched the Egyptian 3 punches to 1, and they were hard punches as well.

The poms who were commentating were furious, saying the decision was rediculous, and saying that calling the judges appaling is being too kind to them.

For goodness sake, WHY THE stuff do they let this happen!!!!!!!!  :banghead  :banghead  :banghead  :banghead

I love the sport, but the politics of it have turned it to schit.

Yeah I don't know.  I read in today's paper that it's not the first time in an important final that she's done this.  No wonder her team mates are dirty.  And if it is something she suffers from, how come she's in the team in the first place.

The only sport worth watching at the Olympics is destroyed by cheating peasants!!!

As for the rest of the sports,I go by the adage
"If there's no punching or tackling,then its not sport.. :rollin
Drink,Drugs and Shagging models.
The rest l just wasted.

Gave me the poos when Raelene "Boy"le brings up theories that anyone who has had better times than Jana - ie the Greek girl - must be on drugs.

FFS, she was beaten by a better athlete.
