There are always pluses and minuses. Important fact is that US boxers are not up to the mark even after getting multiple chances.

How come professionals from tennis, athletics, basketball are allowed in Olympics ? Olympics are no longer reserved for amateurs.

Yaa...you got a valid point. Olympics is more of a stage for boxers from various countries to participate and win, whereas proefessional boxing is a merit-based do-or-die battlefield. Same is the case with Football, Basketball, Voleyball etc.

You are right sir, It's quite visible "favoour" to Opponents of Indian Boxer...lastly..in case of Vijender, despite heavy punches on opponent, he was not awarded points-where it should be. shame on AIBA authorities.
