Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Bach on Sunday, following the results of the IOC executive committee in Pyeongchang, said that the IOC reserves the right to review the inclusion of boxing in the program for the Youth Olympic Games and the Olympics-2020. The IOC Executive Committee decided to initiate an investigation of the management system of the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA).

"The decision of the IOC executive committee is very clear and understandable, we want a number of improvements to be made, we want to get explanations on management, financing, judging, anti-doping measures, we've always talked about that." There is a whole bunch of problems, the situation is very serious. When we move to the Olympics or Youth Games, the IOC wants to be sure that there is a serious anti-doping program, and the judging system should also be at the appropriate level. "We clearly said this," Bakh said at a press conference.

"Dear Thomas Bach, my name is Alexander Usyk. I won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London in the boxing tournament.

Boxing is not just a sport for me, it also made me a man, husband, and father. It taught me how to live and be genuine, which I am very grateful for.

The Olympic Games fulfill me with emotions, because it means a lot of hard work, especially for every boxer - you train a lot, living a dream to achieve greater heights and it makes you move further.

I ask you to reconsider the position and leave the boxing in the program of the Olympic Games 2020. I appeal to support everyone who cares - fans, athletes and just not indifferent people!

Sincerely,
Alexander Usyk

 

"Durodola looked bigger, more impressive, more powerful, but Max Vlasov boxed like a broken record who plays again and again and people fell asleep in the stands, it really seemed like that. And then everything was even more quieter, calmer, calmer, and so this sleepy tempo got to Durodola and there were no action from Durodola as well. But Durodola wanted to be aggressive at first, and then missed it, missed two, once, twice, three, five, ten, and was blown away. "- said Grigory Drozd.

"Maxim has unique options (for battles): he came, declared himself, he has victories and victories over good rivals, but honestly, I think that there are questions about his punching power. He does not miss the blows, and that's very good, but he needs to fight in a a violent manner, there was no aggression from him. This fight was boring for people in hall as well, they turned away and started to talk with each other because this fight wasn't that interesting.
Although the battle ended early, I was told by Durodola's manager that this will be Durodola's last fight in the pro ring"- said Grigory Drozd.
