Them changing it so fast also says, lets just move on and not ask questions~

Originally posted by DrewWoodside View PostThat's what I'm saying. I'm numb to boxing shenanigans at this point, but that was something special. I know it happened recently, but I can't find an article on it. The ref "could" face sanctions? I mean, they need to figure out if he was bribed or unprepared. There is no other explanation.
They reviewed it real quick and overturned it, so they know something was very wrong but they certainly won't ever want to talk about it at least externally.

I was talking about their Super Heavyweight Medzhidov, he is pretty good and he should be the favorite to get to finals from his side of the bracket (altough I'm hoping Cammarelle regains his old Gold Medal Beijing form and gets to the finals).
Medzhidov beating Savon, he's the one fighter who shouldn't need any help from the guys of Azerbaiyan

people are complaining because this is probably really the first Olympic in which they are really following Olympic Boxing but it has always been this bad...MAYBE EVEN WORSE!
Yes it is very corrupt! And the deeper they go the worse the Decision will get!

A ref missed a knockdown call roughly 5 times, whilst he was beaten to the point that it was the ref's duty to save that fighter. He was a stopped fighter. On top of that they had him the winner. Kind of reminded me of when Sergio Martinez stopped Cintron, then outboxed him, then received a draw. But that wasn't nearly this bad.
