Is anyone else biased towards Olympic Gold winners?

Not at all, knockouts, body shots and inside fighting win fights in the amateurs these days. If you don't like that then you don't like boxing. After the olympics the headgear is gone as well and it'll be back to scoring rounds on a 10 point must system.

 

Whoa sweet, is this just for AIBA or USA boxing as well?

 

fraudly harrison anyone?

 

I don't understand what you mean, AIBA are worldwide so that includes amateur competition everywhere. The USA boxers would have to compete under AIBA if they want to compete in international tournaments.

well that's because he emulates the style of pac way too much. He has the speed, he has the agility, he has the athleticism, oops I forgot the chin, oh wait he doesn't have one...:-(

 

if you can win the gold you are a beast. if you dont, it does not meant you are not one but must guys who win gold in the sport due great things in boxing.

 

I'm talking like regular bouts, not national/international competition. I seem to recall the new 5 judge scoring system not being used at low levels.

 

As far as I know mate it's for all bouts.

 

Well yea... i mean it helps a lot having that type of pedigree of experience coming into pro to someone turning pro not having much experience.

 

I'm going to get hit so much less. And I can't wait for the facial scarring, women love that :yep

 

Go try and win one

 

yep want them to win most of the time.
