Changing the scoring system won't solve corruption. I hope the AIBA becomes more proactive in reviewing decisions and not being afraid to pull the trigger when they need to. It's really the only answer I can think of.

According to another important boxing site, AIBA overturned the decision.
AIBA overturns the result of Bout #150
London, Great Britain, 2 August 2012 - After reviewing the video of Bout #105 involving Bantamweights Satoshi Shimizu (Japan) and Magomed Abdulhamidov (Azerbaijan), the Competition Jury made the following decision:
- The boxer from Azerbaijan fell down six (6) times during the 3rd round. According to our rules, the Referee should have counted at least three (3) times. In this case, following the AIBA Technical & Competition Rules, the decision should have been RSC (Referee Stop Contest);
- Therefore the protest lodged by the Japanese corner is accepted and the result of this bout overturned.
AIBA officials will consider on Thursday morning whether to sanction the referee of this bout.

Can anyone think of a more poorly officiated round of boxing? There are a lot of bad ones, but off the top of my head. This might be at the top.

Yes it is very corrupt! And the deeper they go the worse the Decision will get!

They need to be smart with it like China...you don't buy medals, you buy the entire sport and make sure it stays in the Olympics.
