It's not a national disaster. It's an international disaster that brings the Olympics integrity and its image into disrepute. I feel for that Irish guy I know little about boxing but he seemed to be the more aggressive, had better footwork and seemed all round to throw more punches in than the tired looking Russian after the second round.
You not see the face on the Russian looked like a butchers chopping block they wasn’t going to let him fight in his next fight because he took such a beating
Pat Hickey: Sells tickets that weren't being used = Arrested Russian Officials: Drugs majority of Russian athletes, bribes referees and judges = Left Alone Just let that sink in
I watched nikitins fight the other night and he robbed the Thailand boxer!but to rob Michael like dat is a fucking disgrace!paddy Barnes told him from crowd dat he lost first round!dats y he changed his style!a lifetime of hardwork!sacrificing!getting fuck all money!for a dream!!to get beat fair u never hear Irish boxers complain!!but the robberies that happened this week fucking sickening!!not allowed appeal either!!so for ppl saying he lost or crybaby or whatever just put yourself in his situation!if dat happened to u wat would u do!!!
To be honest I personally can't understand why ppl are crying all over the Internet? Did you actually see the fight? A lot of shots landed at blocks and this cannot be considered as points. And Michael missed a lot of uppercuts as well. I am not trying to say the Russian won without a doubt, what I am trying to say that fight was very close. If you lose the fight be a man and acknowledge it, this is poor sportsmanship giving f@cks on TV and behave as an amateur, especially in boxing.
I agree Michael Conlon was robbed but Cathy Taylor's fight could have gone either way. Watched very little of the Olympics because we'll have to wait another five years to find out who the genuine winners are.
mark my words Conlan will go very far in the pros, he has that slick style and if he a good chin to go with it I can't see any reason why he won't become a world champion
+Kevin Roberts stop being bitter he was robbed and after putting 4 years of my life into it I would react the same. you don't know because I doubt you have even stepped fought in a ring. bitter Brit I'm guessing?
Done for political reasons. The least of which Ireland tax laws (corporate tax rate) they shouldn't of suffered for this minster of finance. I said this would come back Haunt us. Should be paying a proper corporate tax rate.!!!
Suuuuure .... the Russian KGB, together with the Russian mafia and 5 bears playing balalaickas and drinking vodka came up to them and told them: 'You no win, we win, we Russia, we stronk!" Sure, sure buddy. Nikitin's reaction after the results came in is probably the best evidence that 'he knew, right from the start' :).
Unbelievable! by robbing Michael Conlan they have robbed an entire nation - Ireland. money money money always big pile of cash involve ...some canadians have also been robbed in boxing I love to see how Conlan reacted to this, the Irish people can be proud of him
Take a defeat man. Conlan is much better boxer for sure. Conlan has the better technique moves in the ring nop doubt. But the points counts only straight clean punches in the face. Watch the fight back and you will see how he getting two clewan punches in the face.Nothing to blame here but himself.
Per capita Wales is the second most successful boxing country in the world behind Puerto Rico. 1 world champion per every 250,000 people. Better than Ireland, Scotland, England and even the USA.
Sorry - this is all balls. Michael is the better boxer here BUT In round 1 he ate a lot of hooks on the inside that were eye catching. A lot of his one two's were on the gloves. of the opponent. In round 2 he showed his superior skill - the judges gave it to him - no problem with the judging there then. Round 3: He made it a lottery. Instead of standing off and boxing he stood toe to toe in a slug fest. The Russian connected clean at least three times, a lot of Michaels punches were on the Russians high guard. he created the opportunity for it to go either way. The superior boxer should have BOXED not SLUGGED it out! The RTE commentary was the most biased of all tv - as it always is. Watch it closely here: vimeo.com/167947936
Rte is biased towards Ireland ? You've clearly never watched a single rte sports coverage. Idiot. He fucking dominated that fight. Anyone who thinks otherwise either has no idea about boxing or didn't see the fight
I really hope you are just trolling. Look at the reaction of outrage from the global boxing community, not just Irish media .. Paulie Mallinagi, Tony Bellew, Billy Joe Saunders, Leo Santa Cruz. I see your point with the gloves/tight guard but you are just wrong. He won fighting inside and he won fighting on the outside. Just look at the body language of both fighters after each round and at end of the fight. Only 1 winner and its not the Russian.
+Mark no we're not trolling because what we saw is a well defender approach by the Russian. Yes there were flurries of punches but they were swing at the sides hitting his defensive posture whilst I see plenty of direct counter punches the Irish took straight on. He may have withstood those counter punches without a defensive posture but those were some big points.
so your irish and your making a point that shakur wudve beat him anyway, or ramirez wud hav outclassed him bla bla bla,, so what, should we take it on the chin then? im irish, and a boxing fanatic, ex amatuer boxer, i love shakur and ramirez, but i wudnt have fancied them v michael this year..
brian i hope you no im pissed at the comment ed paintsprayer left.. that michael wudv hav lost anyhow, i agree 100% with you, i think conlan wud have won gold..
STOP USING CONLAN GETTING CHEATED TO GET A WEE DIG IN ABOUT UR SON WHO IS MORE OF A CLOWN THAN A BOXER IF PADDY STUCK MORE TO THE TRAINING AND BOXING THAN HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PICTURES AND PHOTOS HE MIGHT OF WON
I get the competitors frustration, but Im sorry, most sports, and definitely boxing, are corrupt, and have been for decades. You can scream and shout all you want, but it wont get you anywhere. There is nothing special about an Olympic medal. You think we were put on this planet to compete for medals?????
And ye wonder why Rory did not compete!! They ripped him using all sorts of vile language putting up images of his x girlfriend!!!! I think Irish boxers deserve what they got from the Taylor result right through. They have no class.....
The Brazilians are still pissed at the Irish over Jose Aldo
except the judges weren''t all Brazilians
Was a joke m8
Difference is aldo actually lost
It's not a national disaster. It's an international disaster that brings the Olympics integrity and its image into disrepute.

You not see the face on the Russian looked like a butchers chopping block they wasn’t going to let him fight in his next fight because he took such a beating
Im so sorry to hear what has happened to you guys Patrick love and blessings from New Zealand
The Irish government need to lodge a complaint with the Olympic body..do you think they would have tried to pull this shit with the USA or China ?
They did. AIBA said it was a fair fight and he had no grounds for his accusations. Fucking scumbags
they did roy jones jr 1988
But Ireland were to busy getting paid off...
People in Ireland aren't the only people who's pissed off. Conlan was robbed blind!
Well said from the UK 👍
Highest bidder won 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
can someone upload the fight
Names are on the medals before the fight. Disgraceful.
A handful of judges were "dismissed" of their Rio 2016 duties today.... How ironic....
cash the check and bounce back to their shit holes
Conlan definitely got robbed, I watched the fight and I think he won every single round. And I'M NOT IRISH!
what does he say between 0:14 and 0:22 ?
Well said, Paddy, speak now or forever hold your tongue ... speak for reform.
Same could be said about Diaz vs McGregor
well said
Whats the Sit-U-A-tion
good on you well done 👏
well said paddy
Why do people hate this guy so much when he didn't say anything wrong and has every right to be mad at judges?
Pat Hickey: Sells tickets that weren't being used = Arrested
Russian Officials: Drugs majority of Russian athletes, bribes referees and judges = Left Alone
Just let that sink in
Hickey is still a corrupt bastard, the Russians being worse doesn't take away from that.
Never knew Sep blatter was in charge of the olympics
I'd like to hear what Conor has to say on this.
He's right the Olympic boxing commitee is a disgrace
I agree about Conlan, but it's a stretch to say Taylor was robbed tbh.
yes I'm from new York watch
I watched nikitins fight the other night and he robbed the Thailand boxer!but to rob Michael like dat is a fucking disgrace!paddy Barnes told him from crowd dat he lost first round!dats y he changed his style!a lifetime of hardwork!sacrificing!getting fuck all money!for a dream!!to get beat fair u never hear Irish boxers complain!!but the robberies that happened this week fucking sickening!!not allowed appeal either!!so for ppl saying he lost or crybaby or whatever just put yourself in his situation!if dat happened to u wat would u do!!!
I totally agree, to rip a lifelong dream from someone is just disgraceful.
To be honest I personally can't understand why ppl are crying all over the Internet? Did you actually see the fight? A lot of shots landed at blocks and this cannot be considered as points. And Michael missed a lot of uppercuts as well. I am not trying to say the Russian won without a doubt, what I am trying to say that fight was very close. If you lose the fight be a man and acknowledge it, this is poor sportsmanship giving f@cks on TV and behave as an amateur, especially in boxing.
It wasn't even close
Yeah landing punches on GLOVES doesn't @ tony lennon. Big lol.
***** Oh wonder BBC and yahoo is against Russia. Wow never expected that. LOL
+Jack London Can you just fuck off? It's pretty clear you have no idea what you're talking about
Katie wasn't robbed. it was close, but either way was easily debatable
I agree Michael Conlon was robbed but Cathy Taylor's fight could have gone either way. Watched very little of the Olympics because we'll have to wait another five years to find out who the genuine winners are.
Mick should have gone pro after London, same as Paddy.
mark my words Conlan will go very far in the pros, he has that slick style and if he a good chin to go with it I can't see any reason why he won't become a world champion
Not with that attitude he won't.
+Kevin Roberts stop being bitter he was robbed and after putting 4 years of my life into it I would react the same. you don't know because I doubt you have even stepped fought in a ring. bitter Brit I'm guessing?
*Foot in a ring..... lol
I only care about him calling out RTE and the other hacks on telly.
Who's Michael conlan
Irish boxer
Done for political reasons. The least of which Ireland tax laws (corporate tax rate) they shouldn't of suffered for this minster of finance. I said this would come back Haunt us. Should be paying a proper corporate tax rate.!!!
Suuuuure .... the Russian KGB, together with the Russian mafia and 5 bears playing balalaickas and drinking vodka came up to them and told them: 'You no win, we win, we Russia, we stronk!" Sure, sure buddy. Nikitin's reaction after the results came in is probably the best evidence that 'he knew, right from the start' :).
Katie wasn't robbed, it was God's will. Katie said so herself. In Michael's case I think it was just........ CASH.
i like pushing things
Unbelievable! by robbing Michael Conlan they have robbed an entire nation - Ireland.
money money money always big pile of cash involve
...some canadians have also been robbed in boxing
I love to see how Conlan reacted to this, the Irish people can be proud of him
your 100% Patrick
very angry man there
Every reason to be
+Gareth Matthewson indeed
amateur boxing has reached its lowest point! as much as I think ufc is like x factor these days this shit would not happen!!!
OMG CONSPRIACY
check video
Take a defeat man. Conlan is much better boxer for sure. Conlan has the better technique moves in the ring nop doubt. But the points counts only straight clean punches in the face. Watch the fight back and you will see how he getting two clewan punches in the face.Nothing to blame here but himself.

The superior boxer should have BOXED not SLUGGED it out!
The RTE commentary was the most biased of all tv - as it always is.
Watch it closely here:
vimeo.com/167947936
Absolutely! In the 3rd round he ate those uppercuts and lefthooks non-stop.
Rte is biased towards Ireland ? You've clearly never watched a single rte sports coverage. Idiot. He fucking dominated that fight. Anyone who thinks otherwise either has no idea about boxing or didn't see the fight
He was punching his defensive gloves all throughout the fight. How is that scoring points. The Russian had more clear hits to the face
I really hope you are just trolling.

but not even letting him have a chance to fight against them to just take away his dreams like imagen u were him and that happened to u
Heartbreaking,. Judges shud hang ther head in shame.. Cheats..
