U.S. Boxer falls for 3rd oldest trick in the book
8/12/08

Well that sure sucked, but listening to bad advice from the crowd in the last round is third, just behind getting caught in a land war in Asia, and never going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

The young boxer should not  have listened to a disembodied voice for sure.   However, no one knows how they will react under heavy pressure in this circumstance.  These athletes are not pros  and don't deserve to  be kicked whlle they are down.  He will beat on himself far more than we can.  Most of you will laugh at this but that is your problem.

Sadly, he also fell for the old "3...2...1..." trick with 10 seconds left trick as well.

I just happened to watch the fight, you should have seen his trainers in those final 15 seconds. They were screaming so hard. Kind of funny, yet terrible at the same time. If I read that article correctly, he will be 25 next Olympics. Still plenty of time to avenge yourself.

First oldest trick: Pulling your shorts up higher, ala no low blows and less stomach shots.
Second oldest trick: Have your girlfriend flash your opponent.

These are both just guesses.
