Some previous Olympic controversies

[iamasadlittleboy]

1908-Snowy Baker v John Douglas, referee was Douglas' father apparently

 

1928-A host of awful decisions apparently lead to brawls in the crowd

 

1936-A scoring miscalculation saw Thomas Hamilton-Brown "lose" a fight he won, Thomas went on an eating binge and failed to make weight when the result was reversed

 

1984-Evander Holyfields's DQ, a number of controversial decisions favoured the US including one over South Korean Kim Dong-Kil which may have "planted" the seeds of what was to come 4 years later and Francisco Damiani getting "beaten" by an American in the final

 

1988-Roy Jones gets shafted in Korea

 

2008-A number of favourable decisions for Chinese boxers (including the eventual Gold medal winners Zou Shiming and Zhang Xiaoping)
