Martinez is just one of the boxers that fell victim to the new double elimination tournament that made up the Olympic trials.
You can beat everyone in your division and at the end of the day what does it matter ? In Martinez situation. He actually won the Olympic qualifiers.
From my understanding the new selection process allows USABoxing officials to make the final choice.
So for someone like Javier ( and a couple other fighters I know ) all the hard work put into the trials got negated by USABoxing Choosing someone else ( who they had already beat in most cases).
