Olympic boxing is a terrible joke as it is, so gently caress it, why not get the pros in and you might get some good short fights in there. Pros play Tennis at the Olympics so why should Boxing be any different?

Boxing has a pretty defined divide between the professional and amateur side of things, seems like an odd choice to me, E: Professionals are apparently only able to compete if they've have under a certain limit of professional fights. seems a little more reasonable.

I think it's a good move, encourages fighters to go pro earlier instead of waiting around for the Olympics and could potentially drum up more interest in Olympic boxing.

Yeah since they're limiting it to only a certain number of pro fights (I've heard 15 or 20) then it won't be ridiculous

I wasn't bothered either way between Frampton and Quigg but Frampton calling Eddie Hearn a lanky oval office has put me on his side

That all seems a little much just to give Lomachenko another gold medal.

On a related note I love watching pros spar, full head gear, big gloves, just practicing etc. I wish exhibition matches were a thing outside of Rocky. Any videos of former champs playing around/drilling together, being, well, friendly ?

Meanwhile, in a miserable display just days before their fight, Frampton and Quigg are embroiled in a dispute over who gets the bigger dressing room. For real.

Wilder - Povetkin purse bid scheduled for tomorrow and Povetkin's promoter Vlad Hrunov is tweeting that he's going to at least match the bid for the Wlad fight (which was in the neighborhood of 22-23 million) so get ready for your inagural pbc champion Deontay Wilder. EDIT: And the AIBA allowing professioals to compete the Olympics has made Mauricio Sulaiman's head explode so that has to be good in and of itself. Son of Jose Sulaiman posted:The World Boxing Council is deeply concerned about the shameful lowest stage that AIBA has reached in the entire history of Olympic boxing. http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/news/6245-aiba-has-reached-rock-bottom The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Feb 26, 2016 |

They're now taking turns accusing each other of not being able to make weight. This super fight will get a bit less super if one or both of the belts aren't on the line.

The belts are meaningless anyway, Rigondeaux is the champion at that weight and everyone knows it. I dunno about Quigg but I reckon this will be Frampton's last fight at super bantam. I don't forsee a bright future for him at featherweight though; that bunch are monsters in size compared to him. It would be hilarious seeing him in the same ring as Selby or someone.

Frampton's already made some comments that seem to be distancing himself from ever fighting Rigondeaux, saying Rigondeaux isn't a big draw etc, sounds like he is planning on moving up regardless of the outcome of this next fight. He will be dwarfed at featherweight though, I don't have confidence in his frame to move up and would rather see him take on Rigondeaux if he wins tomorrow night but it seems like him and Barry have different ideas.

Sounds like a lot of promotional garbage from Frampton and Quigg. Whatever gets the fight out there I guess. Last I heard Frampton and Quigg were both calling out Rigondeaux. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/14828851/carl-frampton-scott-quigg-call-guillermo-rigondeaux

Vlad Hrunov has won the Wbc heavyweight purse bid with a little over 7 million to Haymon puppet Lou Dibella's 5 million.

It sounds like they're going through with the fight, even without winning the purse bid. I really doubt Wilder vacates. His current status as "world champion" still lacks credibility and he'll have none if he vacates it for a PBC belt without fighting a legitimate opponent to earn it.

drat these guys are nervous. Neither wants to be the first guy to gently caress up. Someone hopefully warms up in round 2.
