In primetime on NBC, yes.
Switch over to the other NBC owned stations and you'll see all the other sports. I've seen everything from Archery and Fencing to Shotgun shooting and rapid fire pistol matches.
That said, the boxing this year is clearly rigged. New rules in place give the judges the opportunity to let win who they want to win regardless of landed punches, defense, or technique. And the new rules also block any petitions to the judging. It is a ripoff. I've seen a couple matches where the loser was clearly the winner, landing way more punches and avoiding their opponents. It is so off that I just turned the broadcast off. What is the point in these matches when the judges seem to have already conspired to give the victory to their pick (regardless of performance).
Just have them skip the fights and award the medals.
