    Frank Scharmach was suspended by AIBA for his disqualification of HW Iranina fighter Ali Mazaheri.

    It appears that the same Frank Scharmach was a judge in the Errol Spence robbery.

    Unless, that is, there are two Frank Scharmachs or it is an error on the website.

    Well it isn't an error on the website, Booth just posted a picture on his twitter of the judges shown by the television and he was listed there as well. There is no excuse for the AIBA to exist anymore, they've outlived their usefulness and the IOC needs to kick them out and either set up shop themselves or bring in one of the big 5 belts to handle it. Even though they are corrupt as ****, I can't see them being as bad as these clowns.

    indeed, Scharmach was a judge.

    I'm amazed that a disgraced referee at the Olympics can find work as a judge in the same sport.

    They might as well hire the disgraced Badminton team as Badminton refs.

    That probably was the basis for overturning the decision, if you think about it...

    He was suspended from refereeing because he DQed the Iranian but was allowed to judge makes no sense. IOC should ban Olympic boxing for the joke it has become.
