Olympic Boxing

I've seen nearly every fight they've had on CNBC. Some were very good fights, but most just so-so.

I'll keep watching them until the Olympics are over because I enjoy boxing in all its forms. The Olympics scoring, poor judges and poor referees do detract from it a bit.
 
Well, none of the men could seem to get a medal in boxing, but a couple of the women did.

Gold went to Claressa Shields and she well deserved it. This young 17 year old high school senior from Flint Michigan really brought it. I watched 2 of her fights and she was just a butt-kicker and name taker. I'm out of town now and won't see her Gold Medal winning bout until I return home.

Another young lady from the US won a Bronze.

The women came through this year in boxing. Hopefully next Olympics, with some of the changes, will produce some better fights, more even scoring and some much better officiating overall.
