Boxing at Paris 2024 (Les Jeux de la XXXIII Olympiade)

XY and a good jab is a lethal combination. Can't simply rely on the XY, though

 

Fair enough, but Larry Holmes even without the jab would be a decent boxer, an XX chromosome Larry would have been at an even bigger disadvantage when he faced Tyson.

 

It's true. Also, this is the first example in the games where all four women on the podium were beaming and smiling happily in the post ceremony photo.

 

XY chromosomes elevated levels of testosterone according to the IBA who have no reason to lie. Amir Khan lost to Kell Brook while on SARMs doesn't mean he wasn't cheating. Same thing here.

A bloke with less experience would lose to elite female boxers until he got a bit experience then his physical advantages would take over.

IDGAF coz women's boxings trash for the most part anyway but Hermaphrodites and trans or any other biological males shouldn't be fighting women in the interest of fairness.

 

Here we go. Go on then do tell why they'd make that up only about 2 boxers. They'd have no motive to target those two and no others.

 

People are blaming "the russians", but if anything they'd target American or Ukrainian boxers with false smears not an Algerian of all people.

As an aside I'm not angry at these two people if they were born DSD, but the Olympics' should not have let them have fought women in Boxing. Hell, swimming, track, I don't really care, just not a sport where fists are thrown at heads.

 

Definitely I can't think of any reason they'd make up malicious lies like that about 2 random boxers without any particular motive. Both of the boxers mentioned blatantly look much more masculine than all of their opponents.

I think Imane Khalif is most likely a hermaphrodite and Yu Ting Lin is transgender from all the available information. It's no coincidence that out hundreds of female competitors these two have both medalled (could end up being 2 golds).

The reason you don't see biological women dominating men's sports is biological men have a massive advantage.

 

Absolutely, but it's even more so an issue when it comes to combat sports. There is general unfairness in sports and then there is actual danger. The difference in upper body strength between men and women is massive, add in men having more robust skulls and necks and women being more susceptible to concussions, it's bonkers to risk putting someone of an indeterminate gender in a boxing ring against a women.

I feel like tons of people who don't follow or understand combat sports are missing out on this aspect, and think it's an openness and fairness issue or they think women can fight men like they do in Marvel movies.

 

Wait, does she have XY chromosomes??? are you sure?

If so, then she is he, and anyone saying the oposite and idiot.

 

I really hope the governing body for boxing issue will be resolved before the next Olympics it’s such a waste not seeing them in 2028

 

that was my immidiate response. then went down the rabbit hole all the way through and it's pretty preposterous that as a marker. because you have to have other chemicals and genetics to make those chromosomes attatch and work. which she doesnt. and will be another reason why she has a high T count because it's not mashing with any other compounds. and in all of it the eye test. she isnt that fast, or crisp, or strong. she is tall and rangey. fights side on and knows her distance. this isnt wieght lifting it's boxing. when mid 00's James Toney had his pituitary problem when he was producing no and low testosterone. i doubt we thought he was a woman.

i get it....it's weird. and i respect people to have their views that next olympics this can't happen...but everything behind this controversy hasn't been about that. originally it was a male boxer in a wig, then a trans woman who was fed throught the algerian boxing system, she is genetically a man, and now....then she is too masculine.

this is all nonsense.

 

Does anyone think Ghadfa has a chance against Jalolov today? Haven't seen much of the Olympics this year due to a crazy work schedule. How has Ghadfa looked?
