Isn't it great that politics is no longer part of international sports. Reminds me of Roy Jones losing to Korean Park Si-hun in the 1988 Olympics but later Jones was named by the Olympic officials as outstanding boxer of the Olympics in an attempt to make up for the biased judging.
I would spend the money on pay-tv to see Park Si-hun fight Jones today. Guarantee you that you wouldn't need judging as Jones would remove all doubt by knocking him out in the first three rounds..
