Olympic officials have reversed the decision

That was mentioned in the articles, as well as by a previous poster.

Japanese dude fights again in a little less than one hour. I'll be rooting for him.

Jesus Christ and just now they robbed a fighter from the US.

Why am I even watching this? Boxing is such a joke.

lol boxing.

That's crazy.

What would have happened if the guy got knocked out and taken away on a stretcher? Seems like they would have raised his hand from the gurney as the victor. Sounds like a good skit.

I just want to know where Azerbaijan got $9 million.

and why would they spend it on boxing, fix or not?

a. oil and natural gas, the country itself is not poor at all.

b. being very corrupted and not free society, someone is most likely trying to boost national spirit; probably politics.

That was a bit like the Monte Python skit. "come back and i'll bite your ankles."

From BBC

So awesome... an anonymous investor that doesn't speak English uses the minister to broker a deal with an organization the investor must know nothing about.

BTW... the final round score was judged as a draw at 10-10.

R O F L

And now THAT fight gets overturned too! Good job, good effort judges.

Selling nukes.

Japanese fighter fights again in about a half hour.

He wins! On to the semi-finals now for Shimazu.

This actually technically could be true because Olympic boxing does not use the widely accepted form of boxing scoring and instead has elected to just score one point per landed punch.

So essentially a light jab is scored the same as a knockdown which is such an lol of an oversight that I almost cannot believe it is real.
