What happens is it goes to computer scoring, then countback, then the judges choose via lead, style and defence.

...were the judges that robbed Jones Korean? What about the judges who robbed several other fighters in 1984?...
Strike, you thought Joshua was robbed in the WC's? Did you that fight? I thought he got beat fair. He nearly got KO'd in the 2nd and never recovered from that. It was definetly not a robbery, that's for sure.
The poster made a point that they were "robbed by brits" I would just like to know who, as it is a pretty strong claim to make. To your point does that make it the fault of Korea or the judges?
That's exactly what's wrong with amateur boxing : they seed their boxers but not their refs , anybody can be a ref . Peace .
I thought Joshua got beat by Savon but I thought he was very unlucky not to get nod in the Medzhidov fight.
So much bribery goes on. Anyone see the under cover doc what showed Azerbizian buying 2 boxing Golds for 2012.
I'm a Brit and I'm disgusted by the results. They certainly weren't robbed by Brits, but the pressure of the host's may certainly be part of the issue as to why host fighters get favourable results. I think we could go through EVERY Olympics and find examples of hosts having their fighters favoured. The big question perhaps isn't "who robbed who?" but "why was one fighter robbed?"
Yeah I think that's a better question in general amateur boxing does seem to be very corrupt some of the robberies at the commonwealth games were so blatant they were beyond defence, I stopped watching the tournament half way through as I was getting annoyed by the whole thing.
