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

Zero chance against even the lazy half-assed version of Jalolov we've been seeing.

Ghadfa is very lucky to be in the finals, the way the seeding worked out he drew pretty weak opposition after he upset Kunkabayev (by dicey split decision).

 

"i DoN't SeE wHy ThE iBa HaD aNy ReAsOn To LiE!"

How about the fact that both Imane Khelif and Lin Yu Ting had been going on tears in the championships, including beating RUSSIAN AND UZBEK opponents, before the infamously endemically corrupt organization saw fit to void all their victories from the Round-of-32 up through semis on the basis of unprecedented "hormone tests".

Hmm, yeah, not fishy in the slightest. Those morally upright bastions of integrity at IBA with a decades long history of preferential treatment for both Russians and Uzbeks had uh, no discernible reason to perpetrate any shenanigans. Riiiiight.

Yeah, totally an issue you can play the "both sides" card, and claim the IOC to be just as "politicized" as IBA. Riiiiiight.

China (on the women's side) very likely to finish with 3 gold and 2 silver. Nearly as dominant a dynasty being established as the Uzbek men.

 

Bookmakers actually give her the best chance of all underdogs.

That is a ludicrous suggestion. Obscene, dehumanizing and completely unnecessary. You are not owed that, cupcake, nor is any other moron that gets their news from bad sources who's still clinging to an idea of there being controversy here when the matter is long since put to bed owed the satisfaction of tests for which there has never been any call except the word of some absolute sleazebags.

I said another poster had mentioned she was middling a couple of years ago. She obviously has improved having just won Olympic gold (and was poised to win AIBA world championship gold last year, going 4-0 before they barred her and changed all her results to NC on trumped up bogus accusations)

"Woke fantasy"? Jesus, your brain has completely rotted away, hasn't it? Khelif and Ting are women. They've fought in the women's division for years. All these Strongly Held Beliefs™ people have been espousing in the last couple of weeks after becoming armchair experts on hormone levels - curious how none of them had ever been expressed before last month.

This was a fake story that everyone dogpiled on, and some people have actually had the class to walk back their initial statements after learning they'd been wrong and that no "trans men were sneaking into women's competition". Remember? That was the original narrative. Then when that fell apart the most deplorable stalwarts of the stupid-ass anti-woke crowd dug in their heels, refusing to admit fallibility, and kept moving the goalposts to ensure they always had something to be outraged about regarding this pair of women that are by no means poster children for "wokeness" (Khelif is a MUSLIM woman from Algeria, for Pete's sake).

"TRANS WOMAN CAN'T FIGHT WOMEN! Oh, they're not trans? Okay well hermaphrodites shouldn't be allowed to fight women! Oh, they're not hermaphrodites? Well women with masculine morphology shouldn't be..."

So stupid. Let it go. Stop caping for IBA of all things; your credibility is already in the gutter.

 

Tony Yoka banged the ritual stick for the last day.
