be the worst thing for his career to go to TMT that place is a graveyard of wannabe bum boxers fighting on shobox

Mayweather is adding new talent to his team so who knows.

[MDPopescu]

So, does Mayweather have a team of boxing fighters?

[John Locke]

I like Buatsi a lot but Niyazymbetov is gonna box circles around him.

Buatsi is gonna make a great pro fighter, I will follow him career and support him, he's a monster

They are awful i think he knows that, but the ones who get the best olympians, get the best prospects.
Look at arum pre 2012, it was always the same fighters fighting each other and donaire, now he always puts an olympian in the cards.

These Olympics started well, but it went downhill as we approached the medal rounds. A lot of cards being filled up before the fights even start. Amateur boxing is worse than pro boxing in that regard. Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan are once again the worst offenders.

Not only that they are looking to rob other countries that have strong competitors. A great example today was Toledo vs McCormack, the Kazahstan judge gave all 3 rounds to McCormack. Now, if you give McCormack round 1 I could live with that but all 3 rounds.

The worst was the Kazakstan boxer at 56 kilos Yerelenov beating the Uzbek fighter 3-0 only for the bout to be scored 3-0 against him.

I think AIBA has to be broken down in pieces and countries such as Uzbekistan, Azerbeijan, and Kazahstan held accountable.

How are countries such as Uzbekistan who didn't do anything at the Worlds, were terrible at the WSB this year all of a sudden become the best nation in boxing. In just 2 months this happened? No way, there are no such quick turn-around cycles in boxing.

It's crazy, i haven't seen as much robberies as in london, but they where in a good row of fights well judged.

Thank you and how convenient that this meeting took place right before the Olympics.

Uzbekistan and Kazahstan were ranked number 7 and 8 at the Worlds in 2015 with 3 and 2 medals respectively.

In the year of 2016 right before the Olympics Uzbekistan didn't even make it to the semis of World Series Boxing and Kazahstan got dismantled by the British in the semifinal.

So excuse me if I see Uzbekistan with 3 medals at the Worlds and Kazahstan with 2 medals at the Worlds less than a year ago are on pace to have 6 medals in the Olympics. This is a very fast turn-around indeed.

Meanwhile Cuba and Russia, the number 1 and 2 countries in the Worlds 9 months ago are dragging behind. Is it because they don't give money to AIBA.

Russia has Tishenko and Dunaytsev, I am not sure if they have somebody else left.

Cuba I don't even know if Cruz, Arlen, Toledo and Robeisy will reach the bronze and these guys have beat Kazahstani, Uzbekistani and Azerbeidjani fighters left and right but these Olympics it's different.

AIBA is a big business now and the sport is not pure not that it has ever been but we see more and more sloppy fighters who employ wrestling get the decisions.
