Comments Thread For: AIBA Executive, Two Refs Punished At 2012 Summer Olympics

There wasn't much that could have been done for Mezahari because he was disqualified in the middle of Rd 2, it would have been difficult to reinstate him, and they couldn't have had a rematch lol so the only outcome was making an example of that idiot referee.


And what is this, no investigation into the Joshua fight? Why is that?! :P

Precisely. Overturning a mid-fight DQ means... well the amateur equivalent of a no-contest. A lot of people have asked that, but it's different from the bantamweight fight.

There was legit ground for a stoppage ruling in that fight but instead went the distance. Therefore, one decision to substitute for the other, and one fighter replacing the other as a result.

There was only one definitive outcome in Larduet-Mazaheri. There are no grounds to replace Larduet in quarterfinals, since there's nothing to point to Mazaheri deserving a definitive victory.

LOL at the Joshua fight. I actually found it more conspiracy-worthy to speculate on the means in which Ogogo won his lightweight bout this morning against Dychko (double tiebreaker, judges pick who win).

The Japanese guy only made it to the next round cause they robbed his Ghanaian opponent in the first bout. This whole tournament is turning out to be a joke once again...
