hey naner are you reading this?

Check this out...

Vasyl Lomachenko signed a PRO deal with the AIBA, like yesterday. He's still fighting (fights for Gold tomorrow). There are other Olympic fighters that signed contracts as well. Apparently the AIBI created a "new professional venture". Isn't this the biggest conflict of interest ever, in the Olympics? The AIBI seems amazingly corrupt (http://www.boxingscene.com/vasyl-lomachenko-inks-pro-deal-with-aiba--55941).

I just don't understand how this can be legal. The governing body of Olympic boxing, signs Olympic fighters WHILE the competition is still ongoing? This is just a huge mess and conflict of interests, you really have to question every single close fight and wonder what motives were behind it.

18 year old Cuban Robeisy Ramirez takes hold Gold after beating Mongolian Nyambar (silver) in the flyweight finals, giving Cuba two gold medals in boxing. Ramirez didn't lose a single round in the entire tournament!

Anthony Joshua from England takes Gold at Super Heavyweight in an upset win over defending Gold Medalist from Italy Cammarelle. Joshua won by countback (scores were even 18-18 after three rounds). Joshua was basically out on his feet in the first round. Rallied with a strong third round, but probably should have lost.

Lomachenko (Ukraine) cruises to Gold defeating Han (South Korea) 19-9. It's Lomachenko's second Gold medal.
