Man I am so ready for Olympic Boxing to die.

Granted that gold medal or just competing in the Olympics is a huge accomplishment on a boxers career, but their seems to be so much sketchy sh^t in amateur boxing I feel like things need to get worse for awhile to get better.

And I feel like the Olympics have controlled boxing too much anyway with having less divisions + trying to make girl boxing a thing. I feel like people who love amateur boxing can do better by boxing then the Olympics or these sketchy mfers that always seem to be running AIBA whenever someone talks about whos running it or has a high position.
