[POLL] Do You want Boxing to be included in the Summer Olympic Games 2020 Programme?

[JoshMartini007 2,559]

Yes, but it needs fewer events. 10 was a lot considering what the other combat sports had. Even 8 for men is pushing it. They also need to bring back real-time scoring and give professionals the same qualifying rights as amateurs.

No.

 

Because corruption is way too deep into AIBA.

Because the results aren't serious 50% of the time.

Because the best boxers don't compete at the olympics and I don't like that in any sport (men's football, Baseball, etc).

I agree with you at 200%

 

of course I also voted "NO"

 

p.s. for those who still trust AIBA...

I voted yes. But they need to completely change the scoring system, like Figure Skating did.

Huh? They changed the scoring system to mirror the pro system because everyone knows Olympic boxing is only a rehearsal before the switch to pros. Likewise with removing the helmets.

[bestmen 2,831]

All people who voted NO have nothing to do with sport , boxing is great to watch 

like if the rest of sports are clean perfect only doping /money 

 

anyway for  2020 boxing is in

I voted yes because its a historic sport.

Concerning the scoring system i have a question. Why in old decades wasn't such a problem with scores as in modern times?

[bestmen 2,831]

because the western boxers had won most of medals 

so they shut their mouth
