I have been said that there was an incident with a Thai boxer at the box final during Olympic games. A Thai was competing against a Chinese. There should have been an unfair decision against the Thai boxer.
Can it be seen on YouTube? Can someone please point me to it? Thanks.

Yeah watched that fight, it was a poor decision and the Thai boxer should consider himself rather unlucky not have won the Gold Medal.

The result was a disgrace. I was outraged watching. the whole crowd boo'ed the lad from China out of the ring. I love boxing when it is good but this result reminds me why the sport has no credibility
With it being such a disgrace the Thai boxer was still a genteman afterwards.

LONDON : The crowd booed and international announcers openly criticised yet another unjust boxing decision that prevented Kaew Pongprayoon from winning a gold medal Sunday morning.

I think in an attempt to lessen controversy and cheating, Olympic boxing actually changed the scoring system into something similar to TaeKwonDo - points fighting.
You get a point for every blow that connects. It does not matter how effective the blow was, as long as it connects its a point. So a guy who's simply jabbing away (and connecting) can easily win over a guy who's eating jabs but delivering fewer power shots.
