Remember the 88 Seoul Olympics???? Roy Jones Jr. dominates Park Si-Hun, as he did everyone else..... His punch count 86-32, yet he loses the Gold to the Korean on a 3-2 judges decision..... Those 3 judges were later suspended.... A investigation (By the IOC) concluded that S. KOREAN officials whined and dined the 3 judges, buying their decisions to choose Si-Hun..... But they let the S.Korean keep the Gold anyway..... Silver for Jones Jr.....
I remember that Olympics.... It was a huge blow to Olympic credibility..... That was not the only issue.... A S. Korean boxer thought he should have won a fight he lost, he protested..... After that, everything became political..... It was a disgrace!!!!! How can they be awarded another (Winter) Olympics in 4 years????? It should be at least 1 generation before they can host again.... I like Korean people,... Park Si-Hun congratulated Roy, in the ring, after the decision, acknowledging the poor decision.... Props to him for the Man up.... But the officials bribery of Olympic judges should take them out of consideration, Period !!! This is barely boxing related, but I'd be interested in hearing Roy Jones Jr's Opinion on this subject OFF THE RECORD?
One generation is generally considered to be 40 years...... There are bad decisions in Olympics, true..... But proven bribery by the host nation to Olympic judges is way beyond "Bad decisions"...... The Cold War is over my friend..... S. Korea had no bones to pick with the world.... This was sporting corruption....
Lol no a generation is around 20 years, its basically the average age at which people have kids, and its def not 40.
It happens all the time whether we'd like to admit it or not in every olympic games, and the IOC were just as much to blame for taking the bribes and actually acting on it
That 1 event should prevent them from hosting another olympics? There are like 20 robberies in every boxing olympics
Plus it will be 30 years, plenty more than 1 generation
Exactly. OP is an ignorant little cunt.
What ever happen to the Korean after did he go pro or something ?
Park Si-Hun never turned pro..... Btw, of the 3 suspended 3 judges...... One acknowledged it was a bad decision..... The other 2 judges were BANNED FROM THE SPORT FOR LIFE !!!!
I just want to see a clean Olympics, no controversies.....
