Unbeaten super featherweight prospect Marc Castro (13-0, 8 KOs) scored a seven round technical decision over George “El YuYu” Acosta (17-3, 3 KOs) on Wednesday night in a temporary ring at the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. Acosta suffered an eye injury and couldn’t continue. Scores were 70-63 3x.
Unbeaten WBA #1 welterweight Shakhram Giyasov (16-0, 9 KOs) took a ten round split decision over Miguel Parra (22-6-1, 14 KOs). Scores were 95-94, 96-93 Giyasov, 95-94 Parra. Giyasov was deducted a point for a low blow, but seemingly won by a wide margin.
I will never watch boxing in the olympics again. That girl should sue the olympic committe for forcing her to fight a man. They are taking this crap too far.
Yup
There inclusion and then there’s trying to be so inclusive you vacate common sense. This is the latter. Shameful stuff.
Imane Khelif is a woman.
She is a woman in the sense that she was born female, considers herself a female, and never claimed to be transgender.
This transgender crap is just Russian propoganda being spouted by the IBA after Khelif beat an unbeaten Russian boxer in a competition.
The IBA claimed that she failed a gender test, but they didn’t say what that test was or when it was performed.
This has nothing to do with the transgender issue in actual fact, but instead is Russian propoganda designed to discredit this lady for fairly beating a Russian athlete, and possibly to discredit the Olympics at large.
