[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After an incredible start for USA Boxing, things have slowed down for the American team. Day 10 at the Rio Olympics saw two more fighters fall.

Take is the correct way to describe it because he certainly didn't earn it or deserve it. This was possibly the biggest robbery of the Olympics thus far. Levit easily won rounds 1 and 3, I don't think that's debatable. The 2nd round was close and could have gone either way but I'd still give it to Levit. How all 3 judges had Tishchenko winning is baffling.

War Tishchenko!!!

This robbery was right up there with the RJJ and Floyd robberies, an absolute disgrace to the sport.

It's sickening to see a guy get beaten up for 9 minutes and have his hand raised. The fight wasn't even remotely competitive.

Levit would make a hellova pro btw.

[Weltschmerz]

A bought result, huh?

That decision was disgraceful. The ref stepped in as he was about to be knocked out, gave him a minute to get his legs back. Disgraceful

[HeroBando]

Still think that Jordan vs Romania Shw was unbeatable in the robbery stakes,but this was also corruption no doubt. The Russian needed the third round, got manhandled and sure enough got it unanimous. Disgusting. I like watching Olympic boxing but Imo they should toss it till they clean up their act

Im almost positive Russia are paying off judges, Tischenko lost to Savon in Doha and lost to Levit yet somehow is given both

[Robbie Barrett]

Kazakh won every round. Ref saved the Russian from being KO'd. Russian sport is a ****ing disgrace atm.

In round 3 was clear standing knockdown (usually referees open count for much less of a punches) and Tish had spaghetti legs. ref saved him. at most its 2-1 for Levit.
Props to VL for taking this blow with clear conscience and high moral!
