Appalling judging awards Tishchenko heavyweight gold.

In a baffling turn of events, Russia's Evgeny Tishchenko took a unanimous decision over Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit in the heavyweight final tonight.  The aggressive Levit took the fight to the taller Tishchenko pushing the Russian onto the back foot throughout..  In a first round that looked Levit's round across the board a single judge gave Tishchenko the round..  Levit piled on more pressure in the second, hardly allowing Tishchenko space to breath, the Russian now bleeding from a cut around the hairline, neglecting his usually effective southpaw jab, going into survival mode..  Astonishingly every judge was this a Tishchenko round, a round that was so obviously dominated by the Kazakh..  The final round saw Tishchenko running on empty, midway through the round the Russian collapsing to the floor from the constant pressure being applied by the busier Levit, moments later the Russian escaped the onslaught as his corner was allowed to tend a cut around Tishchenkos eye..   As the action resumed, Levit once again forced the helpless Russian back into the ropes, flailing shots until the final bell..  It did seem that Vassiliy Levit had grabbed the gold, however several minutes later it became apparent how inept the judges had gauged such an important fight..    Tishchenko awarded the heavyweight gold medal by unanimous decision amidst a hail of disapproving boos...   Most everyone in commentary along with impartial bystanders saw Levit a comfortable victor..
