    Olympic boxing is dying. I barely found any televised last Olympics.

    Men should just enter the women's categories.

    Unpopular opinion but I couldn't give a flying one about Olympic boxing. Never have, never will.

    Olympics is nothing special any longer. It's all Politics and Corruptions by IOC headed by that evil CCP-Controlled Thomas Bach.

    Doesn’t matter as men can identify as "women".
    So actually men now have 13 weightclasses at the Olympics, and 6 of them are very easy to medal in.

    The Olympics were a great launching pad for gold medalists. Surely Golovkin would have had a better start to his career if he had won the gold.

    There's a 165lbs category for women? Making weight is going to mean slamming oreos so they don't slip below the WW limit after all the training.

    Is there a logical reason for that? I mean i have nothing against another weight category for W but why remove one of the Ms?

    Sounds completly ******ed.

    Be hilarious to see the finals are just men fighting it out for the women's medal. :risas3:
