Changes To Amatuer Boxing After London Olympics. (Amatuer Boxing can make a comeback)

[Neglect]

So I just thought I would throw this out here, because yesterday someone made a thread asking how it can be fixed, and everyone kept listing would should be changed without realizing it already has been. I tried telling them, but they apparently were to dense to realize I was telling them it has changed and not suggesting things.

So here's the changes and source.

**No headgear
**Judges with 10 point must syste.
**They want amatuer boxing to be more like professional in hopes of more exciting fights and preparation for the pro ranks

LONDON, (Reuters) - A computerised scoring system designed for the boxing competition at the London 2012 Olympics will be scrapped after the Games as the sport’s governing body seeks to encourage fighters to win with style.

International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) president Ching-Kuo Wu is determined to bring the amateur ranks more in line with professional boxing and he believes kicking out rigid computer scoring is essential.

Headguards for male boxers are also set to disappear after London while the governing body will launch AIBA Professional Boxing (APB) in 2013 which will mean amateur boxers can earn money from the sport without turning to the established sanctioning bodies of the professional game.

Yeah, can't wait till be back in the ring this fall with new rules. Though of what I've heard, those rules will not come into effect here i Denmark, because of some government regulations of fighters needing to have headgear.

Browsing youtube a few weeks ago, I was surprised to find out that the World Series of Boxing (amatuer boxing) already has those rules. Good to see this being implemented wholesale... This will be a huge step forward for boxing as a whole...

Wait....so amateur boxing is going to be more like pro boxing. We will finally be able to watch it and be done with the boring ass Eastern European style. WIN
