so there are lots of criteria that the judges have to look at in boxing? Judgement on technique? Sounds like gymnastics or horse dancing to me

well chronic thats exactly the same as the gymnastics, if you execute a perfect manouvre but one of the judges doesnt recognise it as perfect then how is that different from what happens in amateur boxing

because the idea of perfect is wholly subjective.

whereas whether or not you hit the target area in boxing is not at all subjective, but a matter of fact

All horse related sports should be banned.

the fact that judges get different scores is purely
a matter of incompetence, coincidence, and
angle of view.... that is obvious... as i said.. you
either hit the target area or you dont. whether
the judges miss a shot is a completely different
point

golf is a sport as the essense of the sport does not need a judge to decide the winner.

age is irrelevant.... we had a teacher at my old school who was appraoching his 60s and in the gym he could outperform the vast majority of us lads and we were reasonably fit 15 and 16 year olds.
