Is it just me or did they used to always wear headgear?

I saw that too. Guy does nothing in the last two rounds and wins.

Yep was awful. One first round slightly then grasped,flopped,and ran for the last two rounds then celebrated.. Total BS!!

Seems like not everything was on the up and up. They kicked out some of the judges.

Glad to hear. Was a total outrage.

On the other subject, I believe the women still wear headgear. Glad they got rid of it for the men, especially with the bouts only being three rounds.

The AIBA sounded a little like Beaver asking for proof of judges being paid off. Doesn't take much common sense when most the calls are going in Russian favor when it is obvious the fighter was beat.
