There is more afoot than AIBA issues. The problem is the well is running dry in the US. The hood is getting too soft and lazy. Nobody is hungry for this life it seems.

International Amateur Boxing Corruption is WORSE than the Pros it is not even close. Olympic Trials are so rigged they know going into the Trials which fighters they want on the team and they do whatever to make sure they send the fighters they want to the Olympics

Exactly why you got 16 years old going PRO and fighting in Mexico for a couple of years before being able to go pro in the US. Only reason why Other fighters from other countries aren't doing the same because they don't have that Option of Luxury which is unfortunate
