‘I have never felt a punch like this’
Italian boxer Angela Carini broke down in tears after she abandoned her bout against Algerian Imane Khelif after 46seconds in a fight that sparked huge controversy at the Olympics.
Khelif is one of two boxers permitted tofight at the Olympics despite being disqualified from the women’s world championships last year for failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests.
In highly-charged scenes, Carini revealed afterwards that she had pulled out after after being hit harder than she had ever been hit before. A first punchdislodged her chinstrap and a second smashed against her chin and bloodied her shorts.
“I am heartbroken,” said Carini. “I went to the ring to honour my father. I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior but I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this.”
“I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.
“After the second punch, I felt a strong pain in the nose. I said enough, because I didn’t want. I couldn’t finish the fight after the punch to the nose. So it was better to put an end to it.
“I am in pieces because I am a fighter, they taught me to be a warrior. I have always tried to behave with honour, I have always represented my country with loyalty. This time I didn’t manage to because I couldn’t fight any more. Regardless of the person I had in front, of me, which doesn’t interest me, regardless of all the row, I just wanted to win. I wanted to face the person that I had in front of me and to fight.”

The Olympics has become a joke. Not paying attention at all this time around.
The IBA also directly criticised the IOC, which has less stringent rules for the Paris Olympics. “The IOC’s differing regulations on these matters, in which IBA is not involved, raise serious questions about both competitive fairness and athletes’ safety,” it added.The IOC position is that both Khelif and Lin “are women according to their passports” and that everyone in the tournament has passed the competition’s eligibility rules. However it has not confirmed exactly what those rules are.
This proves 2 things:
Women are not equal to men, in strength or height or reach.
Mean can never be women, no matter how many drugs they take or how many medical procedures they undergo to become ‘women’.
Go woke, get broke . . . nose.
So has all this transsexual gender bending stuff infected the olympics? Holy toledo, This world is getting so crazy
The two boxers in question.
I saw the video and I am literally so infuriated and pissed off! This is what the Democrats support and stand with. Screw the women motto it’s all about the transgender now. The Olympic committee should’ve automatically made a transgender category apart from the women’s sports. This is so unfair! Screw the people that support transgenderism …FU!!
And there's your problem.
Weird.
The fix to this is for all women must refuse to compete against men.
The women that support men beating the crap out of women in boxing are the ones that make their goal to destroy men/husbands because they’re “tyrants” and oppresive.
I have no sympathy for any of these women who insist on competing against mutants.
The Olympics has become a joke.

The Olympics became a joke 50 years ago.
As a guy, I’m done being outraged about this. If women can’t get up the courage to save their own sports, then enjoy the inevitable outcome. The majority of women are ok with this.........so.........ENJOY!
Can I enter my female kangaroo in the next fight? She self identifies as a human female!
Goodbye to women's aspirations of competing in sports.
Photo retouching by biased elements can't hide the reality of biology (and that Adam's Apple, now backed by blood tests).
It's absolutely shameful to have IOC defending trans in sports (and gaslighting, to state nothing of photo manipulation) placing biological males in competition with females, an order of magnitude worse in a sport such as boxing.
What I don’t understand is that to have testosterone “under control,” some hormones or hormone inhibitors must be administered. It has always been the case that this is an immediate disqualifies for participation.
But the “trannies” get a waiver for some political reason?
