Why did Floyd Mayweather only win a Bronze?

Floyd got cheated in Korea. Did Mr. Torrez get cheated in 2021 or did he simply lose to a better fighter?

Torrez did pretty well to get the silver, he was facing a "Professional amateur" in Jalalov in the final, a guy with vastly more experience.

Torrez has some good upside, he's obviously really untested but he's marketable so I hope he does well as it'd be good for the division.

I hope he does well too. The more ascending American heavyweights, the better.
