Pro style judging being considered for Rio 2016

A professional style judging system could be used at the next Olympic Games, amateur boxing's governing body has suggested.

The ongoing London Games has featured a number of controversial decisions and the president of AIBA, Wu Ching-Kuo, has confirmed that switching to the 10 point system used in the pro game is being considered.

"We are on the way," Wu told the Associated Press. "It's better for the boxers. That competition style means everything, the whole aspect, is added together. The winner should be the better boxer."

AIBA are also said to be considering getting rid of headguards for men's fights at Rio 2016.
