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.

 

Bout #233 - Yu Ting Lin (TPE) vs. Julia Szeremeta (POL), Women's 57kg FINALS

 

Dominant opener for Taiwan. The awkward Pole got caught with speed and timing she appears to have not reckoned on. The hands down swaggering and shimmying around has served her well thus far but is doing no favors in this step up in class.

 

"Levels in this", say the commentators. Yep.

Szeremeta overachieved just to get here, and will proudly bring a silver medal home to Poland. Lin Yu Ting is just a whole new tier of skill from her previous opponents.

 

Booo where’s Usyk.

 

LYT very agile, making Szeremeta lunge and miss, changing stances fluidly midstep, and landing counters at will from different altitudes.

30-27 x 5, UD for Lin

 

Bout #233 - Abdumalik Anvar O‘g‘li Khalokov (UZB) vs. Munarbek Seiitbek Uulu (KGZ), Men's 57kg FINALS

 

Seiitbek Uulu had a tough draw to get here but he scraped by Jahmal Harvey with a SD and then got an inexplicable gift over Javier Ibáñez Díaz. He by no means belongs in a gold medal box-off with Khalokov. This will be a schooling.

 

Khalokov with laser lead rights on the belly button and left hooks on the soul patch of the Kyrgyz fighter.

Light work.

 

Five-love to Khalokov, no surprise.

 

Why do you think the Uzbeks are so good?
