That sounds sorta crazy since one would think whats to be gained in the unpaid ranks, but yeah.

Yeah it is REALLY BAD and BLATANT because they know nobody is paying attention to Amateurs so they really don't care

I love boxing but unless consequences are enforced things will never change

I wouldn't watch the Olympics ever again if that happens.

Come on man that’s just dumb

Now this is a valid statement

Man even when your much, much better you still will lose. Just watch the Conlon, Levit, and Shakur

Shakur?
I hope that you are not talking about his fight against Robeisy Ramirez because everyone (including Shakur himself) thought that Robeisy won that fight fair and square and even if you believe that Shakir should have won, he wasn't "much better" in any way.

Threatening to ban the sport will do little to clean up amateur boxing, which has been so corrupt it is not funny. The Olympics really highlights the corruption to a wider audience, as I've seen blatantly biased scoring, overturned decisions and more.
If they're serious about cleaning up the sport then the law needs to get involved, people charged and jailed as well as an investigation into past practices and recommendations for new checks and balances.

The AIBA has to pay, not the boxers, goverments will not care about boxers if they remove the sport from the olympics.

Fckin sure it is,
Have you ever tried to win a fight away from home?
You have to ko someone to the point of them being unconscious to MAYBE get a decision.

Some of the judging in the amateurs is awful, and not fair on some of the young lads who train hard to have their confidence dashed liked that fairly regularly.

yeah it is disgraceful and so sad to see young kids work so hard only to be denied because of Politics and BS behind the Scenes
