I wonder if you guys have watched the fight. Well, he lost against Kazakstan. But, it was interesting to hear from boxing experts that they felt cheated. Apparently, Bariga got points deductions on a violation, which means added points to the opponent. According to the experts (these are Filipinos, by the way), that shouldn't have been the case. That, Bariga should have been given 3 warnings before any points deductions. And, also, they feel that the fight was planned to be won by Kazakstan, since there are a few patrons and board members who are from Kazakstan. Oh, well, there goes another loss.

Oh no not again, it's like Onyok Velasco's case, I just heard about that he had deduction, I thought it was a clean fight. Our only hope was lost, I wonder how that BMX man doing? I'm praying for a GOLD this time.

They tried to appeal for his case, but failed.
