Absolutely thoughtless and stupid by AIBA. I understand the financial gains by doing this, but why are they rushing it into Rio and why haven't they thought this out properly??
There are so many differences in these two sports, from the competitors, the trainers, the rules, and to the officials.
The Amateur sport as we know it will change forever now, and gone are those days of kids doing this sport for the discipline and honour of representing you country.
And don't even get me started on the Medical Associations reaction to this!!!
Bye Bye Amateur Boxing.
