Is there any way Olympic Boxing can be fixed

The London 2012 Olympics were 99 per cent a rousing worldwide success. Unfortunately, the boxing scoring system formed a fair chunk of the remaining 1 per cent. Firstly, after a manic but amazing fortnight for the Games, The Pugilist feels good to be back. Secondly, before we go deep into negativity, a massive congratulations are due to those Great Britain and Ireland boxers who took medals home from East London - in particular, the seminal gold medal performances of Nicola Adams and Katie Taylor, and the blistering bantam final between Brit Luke Campbell and Irishman John Joe Nevin. Right, feel-good stuff out of the way. Now for the the less-glowing developments. The introduction of a new scoring system (covered in-depth by TP for Eurosport's London Spy Olympic series here) irked purists, and sure enough a storm was brewing. It felt like there wasn't a single day of action from London's ExCeL that didn't involve at least one contentious, sometimes downright incorrect, result. It bore something of a resemblance to the issue of empty seats at some Olympic events, despite the struggles many had finding a way to experience a once-in-a-lifetime deal first-hand, in that the efforts of the athletes and the enthusiasm of the public were being undermined by the poor organisation of those in charge. That said, talk of scrapping the sport from the Games entirely was equally preposterous, as were minority conspiracy theories of home bias (try calling those shenanigans to Tom Stalker). Take away the judges' decisions and you're left with a festival of exciting performances, emotional climaxes and unlikely crowd favourites coming to the fore, all before a molten crowd. So with that in mind, and in the wake of the quick death of the new judicial system, we have suggested a few concepts which could improve matters in time for Rio.
