The controversial fight between Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who failed a sex test at last year’s World Championships, and Italy’s Angela Carini has been abandoned after just 46 seconds after the Italian suffered a suspected broken nose.
This fight had already detonated ferocious controversy, with the International Olympic Committee under mounting pressure to explain how a woman could be allowed into a boxing ring unsure of the sex of the person she was facing.
Khelif was banned from competing in a gold-medal bout in Delhi by the International Boxing Association, who said that the fighter had failed biochemical tests in two consecutive years.
And yet she was still permitted by the IOC to fight at these Olympics and the difference in power was clear from the beginning, with the Italian taking a punch to the face and immediately walking to her corner to signal she would not carry on.

So fit enough to stand the worst beating anyone ever could experience. Got it.
The rest of us just get old. I am recuperating from a hip replacement three and a half months ago. Still having a Borg sensation with edema but Doc Day says I'm doing great.

On your first sentence that has been discussed here somewhere before.
It’s odd. Some say women are more genetically inclined to sense cultural changes first and join them. Who knows?
80% is too high for randomness.

The fake woman gender bender needs a cage visi with someone like... I dunno... Andrew Tate... I would pay per view for that...

Do you have any clue what it takes for an athlete to make their national team? Have you ever in your life trained at that physical level?
That's even more of a reason for her to have withdrawn from the bout. The competition was deeply unfair to her and she should have never participated in it. If I were her coach, I would have insisted that she not step in the ring.

The left is waging a violent war against women when they support things like this. Yes, and it's important to emphasize that this is about leftist politics, not about men vs. women. Very few male boxers sign up to fight women.

High level athletes do not think the way you do. She worked hard to get in that ring so she did, it was a bad idea, but she believed in herself. Riley Gaines still competed knowing she was going against a man. That is what athletes do.
