No US medals at the World Champs

[vorgaphe]

The four American boxers have been knocked out of the World Champs and none of them will take a medal home. This follows from the 2012 Olympics where Team USA didn't win a medal for the first time in their history.

American fans, are you worried that this will affect your professional stars of the future? Is this just a blip or does American amateur boxing need some sort of reform.

Post and discuss.

I train 3 amateur kids and I will be the 1st to say from what I see in Southern California (at least) is most trainers whether it be some kids dad or a certified trainer, they (we) all prepare our kids more so towards a professional style of boxing. The amateur style of boxing that we became accustom to is really "played out" for lack of a better term. The point system is crappy because it can easily be manipulated. If and when the amateurs becomes more of a pro style, the US will be back on top with a few surprise countries coming out of the wood works.

Amateurs uses the 10 point must system. Short of increasing the length of the bouts, I'm not sure what people could do to make them more pro style. I'm honestly not that upset about the U.S. failing again. I don't find the U.S. amateurs that interesting. The weight classes which interest me are 60 kg and 64 kg.

Yeah its a 10 point system but its basically like using compubox to figure that out...

Football rules America.

Hopefully PBC changes that and gets more kids interested in boxing.

People barely care about Pro Boxing here in America so NOBODY cares about Amateur/Olympic Boxing which is Sad.

That being said when you have your elite young talent turning Pro as 16 and 17 years old, yeah that leaves team US with inferior talent. Erikson Lubin, Tim Lee and Devin Haney are all Pros and all are still Teenagers so

Then again why not turn pro when Haymon has his Prospects living like this:

" Just 2 years ago I was homeless with no place to go God is real and he shows that dreams really do come true if you continue to work hard you will be rewarded. To be 19 years young and move into my first house is truly a blessing. This is not a post to brag on what I have but to show that God exists so believe in him, honor him and dreams will become reality. Special thanks to my strong solid team who also helped me where I need to be " #GODISGREAT #AlhaymonBoxing #TeamMolina ����������
