2-0 pro Keyshawn Davis has been selected for Tokyo. Ridiculous.

Crazy. There are a few in the same position but it makes a bit of a mockery of the supposed amateur sport.

Surely an individual must have won the spot in a tournament. Who was it? And how can they give his spot away?

I don't know who he is but maybe it's a bit different this year with it being postponed last year. I'm sure some fighters thought that was their chance gone for a few years and signed pro because of that. I don't think it's the same as when the Cameroonian ndjam did it :bag:

I hate that, young boys and girls working hard for years to make their dreams come true only for pros to step right in and take the spot then fck the ams off as soon as Olympics are finished


I blame George Groves
