-The gold medal match was hailed as "The Robbery in Atlanta". Velasco would hit Petrov with telling blows, and the scores would be counted for Petrov. The Bulgarian, who was barely throwing any punches, was on a joy ride to an Olympic gold medal. It appeared that the judges were pressing the buttons on their electronic scoring equipment for the wrong boxer. The Bulgarian was still awarded the gold medal despite the numerous protests.
