I'm a huge professional boxing fan, but amateur boxing is almost as lame as synchronized swimming. A light jab counts exactly the same as a knockdown on the judges scorecards -- quantity over quality. And political decisions rule the day.
Olympic basketball is another story. I've quite enjoyed watching "The Redeem Team" annihilate the competition.
I guess the only thing I like about am-boxing is that I don’t think it is corrupted yet.
