Olympian2004 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Italian team has protested against the jury's decision, as has just been announced in the arena (I'm watching the Eurovision live stream right now: http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/london2012/index.html?video_id=1305). You can imagine that the audience didn't like those news at all! They were already waiting for the victory ceremony and now have to stay in the arena until a decision has been made about the protest.

paul92 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Dam you Italians. Well another set of judges will watch the match and score it all again. BBC pundits, Lennox Lewis and Amir Khan feel that Anthony Joshua was under scored in the first 2 rounds so it should be another gold for Team GB.

Olympian2004 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 And now they are booing for the Italian IOC member who hands out the medals. Why? They've already got their winner, why are they still furious about the Italian protest? That's the first (and probably only) time I see and hear the British fans behaving unsportsman-like.

Haha well it wasn't dickish of Italy to appeal. It has been said that Boxing has the most lively and rowdy crowd. I guess their just annoyed that the Italians tried to take gold away from the new 22 year old national hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
