yes, that was the main reason why he only fought in the US.....

[CutMeMick]

The only possible explanation for RJJ loosing that fight was if the judges were deducting points for the punches that missed

Even then I think he'd still walk away with the win.

[JonesJrMayweather]

well this was the legitimate reason why he didn't go back overseas....unlike calzaghge & darius...

Disgraceful - no wonder boxing is in trouble and has been for years.

I thought Daruis was in the X Factor or Fame Academy or Pop Idol or something. Was he not the feminine one with the gay goatee? He used to work in Debenhams on Oxford Street years ago, and he was a c**t then as well apparantly.

[Unknowndonor]

One word for that fight=BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

[Lance Uppercut]

THe worst part of this fight, was that it created the button pushing scoring, which is almost always horrible.

well this was the legitimate reason why he didn't go back overseas....unlike calzaghge & darius...

Actually something similar happened to Joe Calzaghe... some say it was even worse during his amateur career.

[Snakey]

Thats fucked up i dont blame jones at all!

calzaghe was fighting for the gold during the olympics and beating the shat out of the guy and had it go to the other fighter? If not...I don't think there's anything worse than that as far as amateur boxing goes....or did you just make that up?

[Taeth]

I am not sure if it was the commonwealth games or what, but Calzaghe was absolutely DESTROYING his opponent, and he still didn't win. WHy would I make it up? Ask Watt... Roy Jones Jr. is my favorite fighter, but that doesn't mean other fighters haven't gotten the short end of the stick as well.

[Purist]

what happened? how did Calzaghe lose? and what were the stakes?

[Taeth]

128 wins, 2 losses

He was screwed out of the Barcelona Olympics due to politics, the Welsh ABA refused to nominate him because they felt he was disrespectful to opponents the way he would drop his gloves and tap them on the head, and Ali shuffles etc.

It was his loss in Eastern Europe apparently that was worse or as bad as Roy Jones Jr.'s decision granted this was written by Watt, but I think it was a similar fight personally.

[JonesJrMayweather]

It's pointless...the biggest stage for any amateur boxer is the olympics...period...IF CALZAGHE DIDN"T GET ROBBED DURING AN OLYMPIC FIGHT IT CAN't BE WORSE THAN WHAT HAPPEN TO RJJ!!!! there's no other venue that you can name that will top that.....and it was for the gold medal!!!!

In my opinion, the country of Korea disgraced themselves with their blatantly biased and corrupt judging in that Olympics. It wasn't just the Roy Jones fight. There were several others in which they did the same thing. I had some Korean friends in graduate school and even they were embarrassed.
