Avfc96 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 4 hours ago, delboy54 said: Regarding the UK boxers in the Olympics, can someone educate me... I thought that funding via the lottery to the various sports was directly related to how they did at the Olympics. For example if your particular sport, in this case boxing, archery or Judo, did poorly at the Olympics then consequently funding for these disciplines is reduced. If this is correct then it seems a bit perverse to be honest as with less money these disciplines will continue to struggle to achieve success. A real "catch 22 problem" I believe that is the case re funding. However, there's a very very real chance that boxing won't be at the 2028 Olympics anyway.. It's currently not even listed as a sport at the next Olympics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Forgot that Chelli vs Simpson is on tonight, British and Commenwealth super-middle titles on the line. Just put the undercard on, does look really odd and s*** having the ring on the edge of the pitch but hopefully the main event is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he's not fighting Akhmadaliev next, would have been a great fight. TJ Doheny is a trash fight but will sell in Japan.

sheepyvillian Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) It is quite scary how big Dubois looks to her opponent. What's it going to take before the powers that be, in the sport of boxing, do something about this ubiquitous weight - bullying ?

Think Chelli was of the mindset to weather the inevitable opening round onslaught and then go after him down the stretch but Simpson just kept up the pace the entire fight. Perfect timing for that to finish too, straight onto Andy Cruz in LA. This is going to be a long night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
