Gaudet won that fight clearly, but the Korean was given alot of phantom points, and instead of a 5+ point win for Gaudet, he lost by a landslide. Much like the Egytptian fighter 'out-pointing the Romanian defending silver medalist

The crowd hissed and booed at the decision, feeling the Romanian was ahead on points, but he somehow lost by 12.

The ugliest non-call, was Egyptian Ahmed Ismail's forearm to Canadian Tyler Steward's throat, actually bending him over the ropes backwards. Ismail never lost a point, and wasn't even given a warning.



The director of officiating at the Olympic boxing venue is from............ Egypt
