So what? What you guys are saying about Boxing today is very similar to what people were saying about Basketball 8 years ago.

Do you know why Cuba was so great at amateur boxing? The Russians.

These guys have been a long time coming. They aren't based on brash hype, they are the real deal. They have always been solid amateurs and are starting to transition to becoming solid pros.

I wonder how many Eastern European fighters are in the finals of the world amateur championships tomorrow?

I am a child of the world. . . that's why i love boxing - it's a true international sport. . .

it matters not to me what country wins. . . i support boxers who i like based on categories other than nationality. . . I do tend to like a lot of eastern europeans just because I feel like I have more in common with them. . . I have similar ideals, world views, etc. . . i didn't even move to america permanently until I was 12, so I have a very cultured and worldly mindset. . . I also like a lot of American boxers. . . WAR BOXING!

I think you said you were from Pakistan?

but anyways, green K. good post

19 of the 40 Medals being awarded are going to fighters from former Soviet Republics.

In Finals
5 Ukrainian
1 Russian (Medzhidov is from Dagestan in Russia so technically 2)
2 Kazakh
2 Azerbaijan (Medzhidov included)

So 6 or 7 out of 20 depending if you count Medzhidov. Was a disappointing tournament for Russia. 10 of 20 if you're talking former Soviet Countries.

aint exactly? still have the best talent in the pros out of any country with the exception of mexico, who also doesnt figure strongly in the ams.

That's only because Europe's best athletes are all playing football
