Should boxing be removed from the olympics?

Question

I dont think this olympic point bull c**p is promoting good boxing, Also the judges seem to be very incompetent at scoring the fights. I guess it may be from their point of view or they are just plain blind.

Answer 1

Yeah it hella sucks. It's only good for technical boxing. They should have at least a 4 round judge scoring system like in professional boxing. Whoever boxes the best in each round gets 10 points and the person who doesn't gets 9 or 8.  

Answer 2

I have not seen one boxing match on TV I have seen everything but boxing for some reason the last two Olympics have left out boxing. I would like to see boxing stay but the problem is the net works don,t want it. I have heard a lot of people complaining about the judging of fights remember Roy Jones Jr. Evander Holyfield the best boxers in the world are there and the judges can,t get it right what is so hard about looking at two guys fighting and seeing which one hits the other on the most I know I am making it simple but if you have seen enough boxing matches  you should know who won the fight

Answer 3

absolutely not! although the U.S fighters need to quit bitching and moaning about the scoring, train seriously for 8 hrs a day, instead of just the 10 month camp prior to the Olympics, shut up about their personal trianers and listen to the Olympic coach. then they might get the desired Olympic results obtained by Cuba, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc.

Answer 4

I don't think it should be removed, but they need to do something. The scoring has been ridiculous.  

Answer 5

No, never

Answer 6

yeah i think they are plain blind. but why would you remove boxing from the olympics ? what THE h**l !! boxing is awesome.

Answer 7

It has been in the Olympics since they were founded in 776BC, so why remove them now? Consider that maybe you are the one who is blind and incompetent in scoring boxing.
