Well, it's not the first time they've cheated :

Perhaps they were feeling the pressure of having to hit their 90 gold medal target and used a bit of "home field advantage?"

This happens so often in boxing. It's too hard to "judge" a fight scientifically.
Why not just count the number of punches landed, a bit like fencing? At least that wouldn't be subjective.

Rarely is it so blatant. Just watch the footage. It's clearly a one-sided fight. Even the koreans in the audience were stunned at the decision.

I saw this match and also thought she was ripped off. Sarita was clearly landing more punches and hers looked stronger. It's sadder to think of all the training she went through to reach this point, only to have it taken away from her. It was all for naught. It just sends a message that no matter how hard you train to win, you will still lose. In any case, most people know that you were the real winner Sarita. Congratulations on a well-fought fight and clearly winning it!

Bring MMA on the Olympics instead.
