Slim hope that boxing remains an Olympic sport

WAR KONAKBAYEV

 

Seems like if it is removed from the next Olympics, AIBA's existence is probably doomed.

I hope Konakbayev can turn the tide.

 

Boxing won't be in Olympics when garbage like curling will be?

 

Well that's the winter Olympics to be fair, there's only so many events you can do on ice and snow and at least with curling it's usually a fair result.

Boxing only has itself to blame after countless years of corruption that has only gotten worse I guess this is what will kill the amateur game as we know it. Every country will pull their funding from boxing if it's not in the Olympics. Can't believe it's gotten to this point.

 

Boxing should be in the Olympics this ****ing ridiculous.

 

It's not ridiculous. Every Olympics we see blatant corruption. Gold medals are literally being bought off.
The whole system is broken and they have nothing to replace it with.
It takes a lot of coordination to pull of such an enormous event. And no one can step in on such short notice to replace the currently corrupt system.

 

Golovkin got robbed of a gold medal, while guys like Joshua benefit from corruption....


Pffff

 

It's so corrupt that even the IOC thinks it's too corrupt, let that sink in for a minute.

 

That's like blizzy saying your mom has a wide vagina.
Or slender saying you dont know your geography.
Let that sink in

 

Me thinks someone refused to share.

 

Lol they mention conlan’s loss to nikitin, but forget about Joshua’s journey to gold medal. Typical brits

 

Yeah they conveniently left that out. Though I personally only thought the Savon fight was a robbery the rest were genuinely close, but either way Joshua should of gone out in the first round.

 

Definitely. I also thought it was beyond stupid that the olympics were considering ditching wrestling - another one of the competitions truest events - at the last olympics. It's no doubt so they can bring in some other lame ass ****.
