this means olympic boxing is sad, first off how can they overturn anything after judges have already decided (nearly all other sports rely on what the judges decide), secondly if the rules allow overturning decisions then how come some are overturned, other convincing bouts aren't? many boxers have been robbed and are unlucky, their decisions aren't overturned...

I am losing respect for olympics.It seems lots of fixing in different events and our atheletes are getting victimised.
Sometimes,its the draw or groupings Sometimes,its points and results
Not only tennis,in other events also ..
You see,why Saina must face Wang_Yihan,the No.1 in Semifinal,why Kashyap comes up against world no.2 ?
If you look at the draws,some lower performers are conveniently moving up to the medal round.
Why Paes_Sania face top seed in quarters ?
The boxer who defeated Shiva Thapa is now going to win gold.Why such a tough draw for him in first round.
Why Jwala-Ashwini appeal not upheld ? How can those defeated by them move to finals and win medals ?
How Sumit_Sangwan's appeal was thrashed?
Why Joydeep_Karmakar just become fourth ? How is it decided ?
How can a winner Vikash_Krishan is later declared loser ?
In most sports,Indians may have been getting victimised and it creates loss of trust on olympics.
It looks 4-5 medals have been lost which could have been of India by now...

no , i think all these are just excuses...if you see it that way then americans believe Gausha was cheated and vijender should've lost. there are ups and downs are happening with every country, just accept the fact our athletes are not good enough. btw, saina and kashap had to face better seeds as they came to quarters/semis, be glad she didn't face wangYihan first round. moreover you saw how vijay kumar won, they have changed some shooting rules...who knows with the old rules kumar would've lost,,

boxing has been a grey area for sure, but we were lucky in vijender's case..he was lucky to have final two rounds tied..and he won by a single point gained in first round.
