The blatant protection of A-side boxers has ruined the sport. The sanctioning bodies and promoters manage the matchups, referees, judges, drug-cover-ups, and other variable conditions, and profit most when their "popular, A-side, zero-defeat" boxers win and retain their titles. This is why there have been disgusting robberies over the years and potentially great matchups that never eventuated. It is why clearly inferior fighters are posing as greats. There are posters on this forum that are easily identifiable who could be representing the boxing administrators to stop the truth being revealed. The bitter taste left in my mouth is getting worse, so bad that I posted this message. Remember that boxing is a sport that lives a tenuous political existence - people get hurt, die, get CTE, etc. The existing corruption and politics could be an opening to end boxing. I suggest: 1. The long-term and obviously human members of this forum should be able to ask for the removal of accounts that continuously provide false views without ever considering alternative arguments. 2. The community should provide a voice to the boxing authorities, particularly over blatant robberies and the like, we have enough members to be heard, we can use the polling functionality. Point 1 is necessary because bot voting will taint the results.
I agree with you . Ive tried asking for explanations from State Commissions referees & judges No one wants to come forward all they do is ignore you. The sport I love is no more breaks my heart to be honest
The sickest part is that the most corrupt people are always calling out the corruption of others. Nothing will change until someone decides to speak about corruption in the first person, here's what I did, instead of just pointing fingers.
I have 2 things to say: 1. It is impossible that A-side boxing has ruined the sport, because A-side boxing has been there since the very beginning of the sport. There has never been boxing without A-side. 2. Please, ban everyone who doesnt agree with me. It's for the common good, trust me.
