    As I understand it concerns all levels of senior male boxers.

    Here in Norway we even have to change the law. There's an old law here which forbids contact sports with no head guard. The same law forbids professional boxing. So until January next year we have to change that law, or else we don't have any senior males left.
    OK, now it's confirmed: you really are stupid. It looks like you've been knocked down a few too many times yourself.

    So what if I called it a helmet, you twat. Your writing is on the same level as a six year old.

    My main issue is with the scoring, having a ten point must system makes scoring a lot more subjective, going to be seeing a lot more robberies. It doesn't favour skills it favours aggressiveness.

    Listen to this guy. It's amateur and an olympic gold is more elite than anything in the pro game. You haven't boxed because if you had you'd know that the head guards make no difference apart from preventing cuts.

    Is this rule going to be used in all amatuer boxing? Or just at the olympics?
