I don't follow boxing, but I happened across a light-flyweight match on TV this morning. The fighters were not wearing headgear. Is this new? I had believed that amateurs (?) always wore headgear. Or am I years behind the times?

Wow. Not surprising, but disappointing.

You would think a good look at my buddy Ali in his last days would make them think twice.

We have Erislandy Savon (CUB) to win a gold.

The rules of amateur boxing have change many times in the past few years. The judging, the length and amount of rounds, etc. This is the latest, and could be reversed by next year.
It doesn't seem to have affected the quality of the fighting; we have seen some tremendous bouts so far.

Oh well but we did well anyway.
