Who could ever forget the Roy Jones Jnr (USA) vs Park Si-Hun (South Korea) result at the Seoul Olympics??
Apparently the computer recorded the American outpunching the South Korean, 86-32! Jones also forced a standing 8 count in the second round.
In its appeal, the US Amateur Boxing Fed charged that the Moroccan judge had acknowledged falsifying his scoring in the Park Si-Hun's favour. That appeal was dismissed because it was not filed within 30 minutes of the bout (as required by the association's rules). Huh!!
Makes some of the scoring inconsistencies that we are seeing in Beijing pale by comparison!
