phelps 6,528 Posted November 13, 2019 #71 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Question: Who will be the referees and judges at the qualification events? Answer: Only AIBA certified referees and judges will take part in the Olympic Qualifying Events and in the Olympic Games. However, the selection process for the referees and judges will be different, enhanced by the evaluation of individuals and a thorough education programme. basically, it won't change anything...it's all a "cosmetic" farce only... the first thing they should do, instead, is to get rid of any AIBA previously related people and hire refs and judges from the other Pro boxing organizations, especially those in open conflict against aiba... heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that Pro boxing people are servant to other interests, which are not part of the aiba boxing spoil system... so, hiring people who are not better than others in overall terms, but they are stranger to the aiba dynamics, it would lead to a smaller number of controversies than keeping the same people who caused so many "accidents" on the driving seat... it's just a real change of environment and dynamics rather than the cosmetic only manouvre they're doing right now... the situation is so desperate that any attempt is better than doing nothing and letting things go by themselves...

Ha ha ha I really don't think pro boxing is in worse shape than amateur boxing, where a literal crime boss ruled the world for a while.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted January 16, 2020 #77 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The Dutch boxing federation is sort of trying to get Badr Hari, the criminal and way too aggressive kickboxing legend, to try and qualify for the Olympics First they'll have to convince him to compete for the Netherlands instead of Morocco, I guess, since his whole image is built around being the hero of Moroccan bad boys. I hope he succeeds, it'd be fun to see some wildcard boxer knock him around the ring at the Olympics If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Badr Hari does indeed sound like the kind of person to go and knock the officials and entourage around. Or just random people on the street who give him a bad look or something. phelps 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,172 Posted January 16, 2020 #80 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Filip Hrgović is apparently planning a comeback... But he will be able to compete in the World qualifier only if our other boxer fails to obtain quota at European qualifier.
