It was fukked up. The Korean dude knew he lost and tried to give props to Roy.

That 88' Olympics had some weird shyt in boxing. Another Korean fighter felt cheated when he lost so he sat down on the canvas in protest. He wouldn't leave, so they just left him there and turned off the light.

There was a US boxer that was eliminated because missed the weigh-in because he was sleeping. :snoop:

Also there was a referee who got attacked by one of the boxers.
