Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

[Russian Crushin]

it's gotta be one of, if not the biggest, conflicts of interests ever in olympic sports. it's mind boggling how they can sign guys while competition is still ongoing. smh

Yet its being allowed

What pisses me off the most is that they took the entire Ukrainian Olympics team, including Lomachenko

I read that yesterday. Sucks because there is so much hype around Lomachenko he could make a ton of money right off the bat. Now he's probably going to waste a couple years at least in this wacky "AIBI pro league".

Even though I don't think Lomachenko would've lost tomorrow, there's no way he does in any way shape or form.... like literally no way the AIBA will let the best boxer they've signed lose.
Good think Lomachenko will crush this kid

The articles i read didn't name the other Ukrainians but it said Lomachenko and 4 other UJkrainain medal winners so that wouldn't include Khytrov. Vasyl, Berynchyk, Shelestyuk, Gvozdyk, Usyk would be 5. After Vasya, Khytrov is the guy i would want to see go pro most.

About £60,000 a year.

Good money in my world.

That's because Audley and a few trainers etc... pretty much begged/forced them to pay money so that he and others didn't turn pro.

After Vasyl i think Khytrov would probably have the most success as a pro. More than Usyk, Berinchyk, or Gvozdyk although all 3 of them should be very good too. I'v never been impressed with Shelestyuk. He won a Gold at the World Championships and just because he got robbed agaist Ogogo doesn't mean he isn't the best.

Here he is destroying the Olympic Champion Murata.
