Russians have bought a few medals for sure.

The guy who won the heavyweight final got absolutely mollywhopped. Shameless. Do these judges not think the Olympic final of the heavyweight boxing is getting broadcast or something?

Boxing scoring is subjective to a degree. The degree to which it reaches a level that it is no longer subjective is when a guy is getting pummelled. At that point all you just need the ability to see.

The Russian boxing team shouldn't even have been allowed to compete in the Games, to be honest.

With all the government-sponsored PEDs programs going on over there.

If anyone wants to see corruption at it's finest watch the first round. Conlan hammered him and all 3 judges gave it to the Russian. He won the fight clearly obvious pay off. Judges suspended says it all

Is it possible to find out how the other two judges (who's scores weren't counted) scored the fight? It'd be interesting to see if they were paid off also...
