An Indian girl who's fighting is an ethnic Mongol. Unusual maybe but not as rare as you might think.

Unless the schedule I'm lookin at is showing BST instead of CET, which is not impossible

It does show her 1h15 later than Adams so must be 15.30

roy kelly and the hartlepool mail tweeted that she was on at 3:30.

I walked past her parents house in milbank road on saturday, flags and posters up, was good too see, they must be very proud.

Compo · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:59 pm

why dont they put the scoring up on the boxing during the rounds like they have done in previous olympics?

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 3:28 pm

Either there's desperate lag on this feed or the contests are running 1/4 hour late

mouldy old dough · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 3:42 pm

Another digusting decision in the boxing.
The olympic committee have to sort it out. It is the same every time.

Cheating Bastads

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:02 pm

She'd have been better winning a round than getting a bye, surely it's tough to go into an Olympic quarter final having not had a chance to box.

I'm sure she'll have another opportunity but I feel for her.

She's still done the Town proud even getting there.

Block B Blues · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:07 pm

Shocking decision! She clearly won the last round but those tosspot judges had her going further behind. The Kazakh lass was more interested in wrestling than boxing and should have been penalised at least twice! Can Savannha appeal the decision?

halfmanhalfbanana · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:09 pm

I'm gutted for her. Those two last rounds were clearly hers and how the ref didn't penalise the other one for holding on I'll never know. In fact it's a perfect example of why boxing is a fooking fix. Always has been always will be. Women have wanted equality and they've certainly got it - BENT judges! The only certain winner is when someone is knocked out and then alot of them will be dives. rage

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:13 pm

Have to say Savannah showed a bit of inexperience letting the other get close in all the time.
As for whether the score was right or wrong I haven't a fookin' clue.

It's easy, if you land the most punches you should win.

TAKE NOTE CHEATING JUDGES.

Block B Blues · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:20 pm

Just found the list of "judges" for the fight.

1) Stevie Wonder
2) David Plunkett
3,4 & 5) The Blind Mice

Explains it really doesn't it? :doh:

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:58 pm

How Volnova got 6 for the last round is a mystery....unless you get points for holding on like!!!!

If only Savannah kept her distance though and used her jab more....it could have been so different!!!! confised

Plus I agree with whoever said it wouldn't have helped her getting a bye!!!! confised

But Well Done Savannah....proud of yeh!!!!

They must have been the same ones that judged that Japanese boxer who had his opponent down 8 times in the last round and still didn't score more.

The worst thing about sport. If there are judges involved it is fixed.

returnofaido · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2012 10:14 pm

just watched the last round on the BBC website, and there's no other words than utter fucking farce. how the fuck the kazakh lass won that on the judge's scorecards is just beyond belief. must be some form of appeal surely ?
