The Robbery of Roy Jones Jr

Alot of people blame the new points systme for that robbery even though electronic scoring was introduced at Barcelona 92. Whatever system they used, it was a clear robbery. The new system is bogus but too often even within this sytem the judges do ropbberies and don't score big shots against ****s and *****s. just because they are hosting it.

Not only did the ***** not win a single round, he didn't even get a single punch in. Was completely outclassed. I think this was the reasoning behind the current fencing style scoring system.

I bet Moa Se Tung's henchmen are still about threatening the lives of the judges cats and dogs! Them *****s love to oppress their people so imagine what they do to others? I heard and American Athens medallist in skating had his visa revoked due to his views on Darfur. A bloody disgrace and the IOC should be ashamed of themselves for the only two incidents I have seen live from this 2008 Olympics.

Well, I'm in my 30's and I did watch those fights at the Olympics. Here's what I remembered. I will go by sheer memory here.
1) 1976 Montreal-Best American boxing team ever 5 golds, all won pro titles except Howard Davis.
2) 1980-Boycott by Americans and Canada. Canada's team was actually probably better than Americans.
3) 1984- Los Angeles. Terrible Olympics. The begining of politics,cheating and biased decisions in favor of host countries. No Cuba, no Russia, no contest. Top it off, U.S. boxing team won 9 gold against watered down competition and still looked bad. Shawn Sullivan beat Tate easy and got robbed, best Americans were Taylor, Pernell, and Holified without a doubt. Carl Lewis wins 4 gold medals against watered down competition.
4)1988 Korea. What can I say? Koreans hold a grudge. They bribe their way to medals and rob Roy Jones. This is last time U.S.A. sends a solid squad of boxers to Olympics with solid competition. Ben Johnson fastest in the world, streroids scandals.
5)1992 Barcelona. U.S.A. wins 1 boxing gold medal- Oscar Hoya. Felix Savon and Cuba start to dominate boxing here.
6)1996 Atlanta. Embarassing for U.S.A. 1 gold medal-David Reid. Cuba running away with boxing again.
7)2000 Sydney, Cuba dominates while U.S.A. can't seem to send good fighters anymore
8)2004 Greece. More of the same. 1 gold
9)2008 China. Cuba held to 4 medALS,no gold. U.S.A. just held. Boxing has become a slap and run sport.
10)2012 England. Boxing is fading as an exciting Olympic sport.

Originally posted by Flawless View PostI don’t get it; Roy Jones won the fight so Cleary, why doesn’t he just get a gold medal. They should reverse that decision. Worst Robbery I have ever seen
If you didn't see a robbery coming in one of the most corrupt organisations in sport with an American fighter battling a KOREAN in KOREA for a GOLD MEDAL I know a bridge in London you can buy.
