Because that's how corruption in the olympics work?
Hint: Nope.
If you want to know how so, the fights are available to watch online. He lost to Savon in the first round, and he lost to Cammarelle in the Finals. These are pretty well known and agreed on home town decisions.Comment

If you disagree with the decisions, great. But history is history and wishing and hating doesn't change it.Comment

Okay. Roy Jones Jr. got blown out in his Olympic finals too. Same with Floyd Mayweather Jr. no hometown decisions there. No history of corruption so bad in Olympic boxing that they’re removing boxing.
No, it’s hatingComment

The Jones situation was proven to be a bribe deal and that was 30 plus years ago. I think things have progressed a tad beyond that these days. So when you have some kind of proof that backs up your opinion, come back and well talk.
P.s. There was no conspiracy in Floyds loss and nobody made a deal about it.Comment

The U.S. team filed a protest over the Mayweather bout, claiming the judges were intimidated by Bulgaria's Emil Jetchev (head of the boxing officials) into favoring the Bulgarian Todorov by a 10–9 decision in the 125-pound semifinal bout. Three of Jetchev's countrymen were in gold medal bouts. Judge Bill Waeckerle (one of the four U.S judges working the games for the International Amateur Boxing Federation) resigned as Olympic Games and federation judge after Mayweather lost the decision, which was loudly booed by the crowd at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum. "I refuse to be part of an organization that continues to conduct its officiating in this manner", Waeckerle wrote in his letter of resignation to federation president Anwar Chowdhry.The Jones situation was proven to be a bribe deal and that was 30 plus years ago.

But as for the Joshua medal, you can watch the finals here.
As for the opening fight against Savon, Ben Dirs of the BBC said this
"The crowd love it - most of them anyway, they are a few boos - but Anthony Joshua was very lucky to win that won, and I think he knows it. Everyone in the press seats knows it as well - lots of raised eyebrows and crooked smiles."Last edited by _Rexy_; 09-15-2019, 09:20 AM.Comment
