However, if it had happened in the semifinals or the final, he would have at least had a medal, but as it was, he was left with nothing.

Yeah thats fair, Like he did probably deserve a medal but just tough draw. It happens though.

Rygielska floored Yang in the second round, got a point deducted in the last one but still won

pretty sure that one punch won the fight because I thought Yang won the 1st and 3rd rounds.

Great tournament for Brazil after the disappointment that was Paris 2024 with only 1 medal.

What do you think of Rygielska's fighting style? I'm not entirely convinced by it, but judges often promote her, even though she's not a big name.

She should be a big name / for sure she is solid boxer. She was often better than Germany, Ireland or lost 2:3 in good battles in the weight 66 kg and she was robbed in Paris...

We go to Paris with the 2023 World Championship gold and silver medalists: Testa and Abbes. Both lost in the first round. The big name, etc., didn't help us at all. In my opinion, the whole IBA-WBA mess really hurt us, because there were no seedings in Paris based on the IBA World Champ., and in fact, they started treating the World Championship medalists from the old IBA more worse. But that's just my opinion.

World Boxing promised to make rankingu (they have even or their sites rules). Still no rankings. I feel we will have same story in LA

I would like to see another scoring system. This 10:9 is really something useless.

 

2008 system was not ideal but it was more clear and competitive. That were the times when the last round had sense.
The real correction it needed was making knockdowns more valuable.

In professional boxing, you usually have a situation where the challenger has to be better than the champion to beat him. Some time ago, to beat, for example, Klitschko, as a challenger, you had to do something extra to take the title. But here I see it's quite the opposite: a boxer with big name- actually World Championship medals arrives and loses in the first round in Paris after a controversial result. I don't understand it. This current Olympic boxing is some strange hybrid of old amateur boxing and professional boxing: even the scoring shows it. Personally, I think we should have stayed with the amateur boxing of the early 21st century with its scoring machines, etc., or simply removed it from the Olympic program, because currently, it's a simply joke, not a real sport. Some strange hybrid of who knows what and what was created, divided into several federations: chaos with judges, chaos with seeding, etc. Why?
