    Doubt an appeal would work for Spence when it's purely protesting against scoring. The Japanese result was overturned because he should have got the stoppage and the ref ****ed up.

    exactly. He fought with real hunger in him knowing he was the last one left to represent his proud country and he went in there and beat that ******'s ass. This is heartbreaking.

    Can't wait to see Teddy Atlas's reaction

    Ya he was robbed. 4-2 opening round was questionable and I thought he was a bit ahead going into round 3. Even so, I thought he outworked and outlanded the Indian in round 3. Somehow he went backwards and fell down 2 points. Did anyone see the ****** fight? How did that go?

    The scoring in these Olympics has been atrocious. What the **** is wrong with boxing when you can't watch 5 fights, amateur or pro, without seeing a joke decision?

    When they change the system back to the 10 points must you will still get bull**** decisions like this.

    The US amateur system needs a lot of work

    I don't think it's even the system. I think they just play favorites.

    Absolutely disgusting.

    Everyone else from the USA (except maybe Diaz) deserved to lose quite clearly.

    Spence got robbed about as badly as anyone since Roy Jones Jr. famously did.

    Yeah the US team was **** this year, I though Diaz could have won but don't call it a robbery, but this one... ugh. Sickening. Disgusting. Upsetting.

    Ever since AIBA accused us earlier in the week with signing with pro promoters we've lost every bout afterwards. What a coincidence smh.
