Roy Jones Jr in the Olympics

That fight was just fixed. One blown call is one thing, but that was 3 rounds of domination ignored.
"Several journalists made sworn statements that judge Hiouad Larbi of Morocco commented after the match indicating that he acknowledged that Jones won easily, but chose to rule in favor of Park in order to placate the South Korean spectators.[2][3] Two of the three judges voting for Park were eventually banned from the sport for life"
Yeah, fixed boxing results are a whole different category. Unlike all the other conspiracy theories, boxing history is full of high profile legitimately rigged fights.

Some assumed Jones Jr earlier prelim fight cockiness couod have played a part as well. This wasn't a costly officiating error.
