I watched that final and it was an even worse robbery than legend has it! Nice bit of boxing trivia with him fighting Richie Woodhall en-route too!
The whole issue about it was that it was so blatant and ridiculous, that it made Korea look bad because of it, while there was a history behind it. Not many go in on what made this atrocious act of home cooking happen, because it was too blatant, too out of left field and done against the best fighter of the Olympics. But it was basically a reaction on what the Americans had done in 84.
I defy someone to show me 10 consecutive seconds cut out from that fight where you’d say Roy lost that clip. He completely dominated. Roy was awarded a silver and the Val Barker Trophy as best boxer of the entire Olympics. Of note, Roy Jr. wore silver trunks in the pro until he won a world title. Motivation.
Golovkin vs Canelo robbery was worse, because it was blatant and 90 percent of boxing media and people thought Golovkin won. If Golovkin was Murican certain types would have complained about the robbery.
Roid Jones Jr fans need to quit whining. The APPOINTED judges chose their winner. DEAL WITH IT. Quit your ****ing whining!! STFU Have a problem with my post? Quit being a ****ing hypocrite.
Jones getting robbed in Korea and Levit robbed against Tishchenko are the two worst legalized thefts that I remember from the Olympic Games .
It's insulting to the sport when fights like GGG vs Canelo get compared to RJJ getting robbed in the Olympics, or in your case claimed to be worse than RJJ getting robbed in the Olympics.
