Boxing is the worst

You would think that combative arts, even if judged, would be a bit less subjective. After all even someone with no skill or experience in the sport can tell whether someone is beating the crap out of someone else.

But yet you hear all the stories about biased or just poor boxing judges decisions, and personally I've seen a Tae Kwon Do match (not in this Olympics), where the young American was kicking the snot out of the heavily favored but injured Korean, and they gave the bout to the Korean. I have to hand it to him, to go out there and fight as hard as he did essentially on one leg, but the actual wins and losses in the events shouldn't be about that.
