Boxing At The 1996 Summer Olympics – Featherweight
The featherweight class in the boxing at the 1996 Summer Olympics competition was the fourth-lightest class at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The competition in the Alexander Memorial Coliseum started on 1996-07-20 and ended on 1996-08-04. There was significant controversy surrounding judging of the fight between 19-year-old Floyd Mayweather of the United States and 27-year-old two-time Olympian Serafim Todorov of Bulgaria, with Todorov being awarded the semi-final bout which, according to many observers, was won by Mayweather. The U.S. team filed a protest over the Mayweather bout, claiming the judges were intimidated by Bulgaria's Emil Jetchev (head of the boxing officials) into favoring the Bulgarian Todorov, but it was rejected.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=LiRUAAAAIBAJ&dq=floyd%20mayweather%20serafim%20todorov&pg=6746%2C546842 Medalists Results References External linksamateur-boxing {{DEFAULTSORT:Boxing at the 1996 Summer Olympics - Featherwe ...
