Tbh the main issue with Boxing is that the judges can get bribed into giving out a certain outcome, and it looks worse when it's at such a big event such as the Olympics.
I'm glad that those two decided to carry on through a different avenue because if it was me personally I'd refuse to take part in the Sport ever again.
