    So, I told you that Eastern European fighters are hated. If no American fighters are winning the Olympics there will be no boxing for anyone................Eastern Europe has a great amateur boxing team, they are winning medals and become champions, such as Lomachenko..............there have been comments that is the reason, so the judges must cheat to give decisions to American fighters.......................I do not hate American fighters, but the bias against Eastern European fighters is real, Kovalev Vs. SOB, Golovkin Vs. El Pollo, although El Pollo is Mexican, the hate is greater towards Eastern European fighters, although many Americans hate Mexicans because of political crap, provincial attitude, which I do not, all I ask for is a level playing field for "ALL" fighters...................I blame the promoters, powers that be in boxing, Klitschkos refused to sign with Don King because they knew he was a crook, so they ended up having to fight mostly in Germany, because of that crap, we are missing so many good fights, such as Gassiev/Dorticos, Usyk Briedis, next Usyk Vs. Gassiev will also be boycotted by USTV, but Canada will show it, Germany will show it, UK will show it, only America will boycott it. So, does America have the influence to end amateur boxing? Unless they get their way? This is very sad, what other reason could there be? I read some of the comments about this article.....................sure hope it's not true...................America is having a temper tantrum, they must get their way or else! I hope I am wrong..................there would be no Joe Frazier, no Ali, no Foreman, so better think about that as well...................everyone will lose................read the article and make your own conclusions....................https://www.boxing247.com/ https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/no-boxing-at-the-next-olympics-this-could-happen.601338/ When you click on the ESB link, it is the article right below the first one.......................

    Don't really see how US lack of interest in the sport is effecting it to be honest. There have been plenty of dodgy decisions favouring non US fighters, such as Yoka getting at least one dodgy decision in Rio and of course Joshua should of never got the nod over Savon.

    But honestly while it would suck maybe that's what is needed to clean up the amateur game, we all know it's corrupt and certain nations have paid for their success it's the only explanation for some of the crazy decisions favouring one specific fighter again and again in a tournament. The amateur game makes the pro game look honest and clean in comparison, can't honestly remember when I last watched a major amateur tournament and there wasn't at least one fight that stunk the place out for being obviously bought and paid for.

    So **** it, if the amateur game wants to keep being dirty then maybe it should be kicked out of the Olympics for it's shady dealings.

    I have seen a lot of bad decisions in amateur boxing, but professional boxing is nothing to brag about...............all boxing needs to be cleaned up..............we needs an international boxing federation composed of honest people, if that can be found................there was an FBI investigation into fight fixing in Vegas several years ago, Sen. McCain and some others tried, but failed to clean up boxing.................refer to the Judd letter..............
