Floyd Mayweather Was Robbed In Olympics Like Roy Jones ??

[ICB]

Just found this from wikipedia while reading up on Mayweather has anyone ever seen this ??


In his semifinal bout against the eventual silver medalist, Serafim Todorov of Bulgaria, Mayweather lost by a controversial decision that the U.S. team officially protested. Many who saw the bout, including the referee, (who mistakenly raised Mayweather's hand when the decision was read) believed that Mayweather had won.[

I didn't trust the wiki article cause after all anyone can edit that crap, found some other articles that say highly controversial, so I'm thinking that's what it was a controversial decision, not necessarily a robbery. The 96 olympics did take place in the us, and pbf was a us fighter, so it's not like the other dude got a hometown decision as was the case with roy in korea.

Believe it or not, this fight is actually courtesy of Danny G. It's missing the 1st round, but unless it was a 10-8 round, Mayweather got robbed.

I only saw 2 of the 3 rounds because it was incomplete. Mayweather looked real good and very much not like an amature. Floyd won the 2 rounds that I saw pretty clearly. The only way I saw the other guy winning is if the first round was 10-7. If it was 10-8 then it would have been a draw.


The crowd booed like crazy when the decision was announced (even though the fight was in Europe and the European guy got the nod)

I used to like the UFC a lot, but now its just turning into the WWF....

i don't agree with all the reasons tho, there have been some action packed mma fights just like boxing, grapking and sumbmisions can easily be compared to a thinking mans fight, even boxing fans will moan and boo when guys like mayweather or hopkins 'box' and unless you really like, understand or aprciate what they are doing it wont interest you...

preme?

Yea i suppose he was really..Not as blatant as roy was but its fair to say Floyd won

The judging is different in the Olympics though.

I didn't see the video, but
the judges have two buttons in front of them.
one for each boxer, when one fighter hits cleanly
the other with the white part of the glove in the
head or body, they get one point. I can see how
this system is easy to make mistakes.

Yeah which throw's up some funny results.

Mayweather's "robbery" couldn't have been anything like Roy's ROBBERY.

Its sorta wierd..Cos you can argue that floyd was robbed.. But fact is he made it close for himself..
It appears that he still won but i'll be damned if im going to score it
