Paris Olympics is already in controversy for many things. Now a new controversy has been added to it. This controversy is related to the incident that happened with an Indian player. Actually, when India was sleeping at midnight, he was being robbed in Paris. No, we are not saying this, but this is what the fans who were shocked to see the incident with him on social media are saying. Here we are talking about Indian boxer Nishant Dev, who was sure to win a medal when he entered the men's 71 KG weight category. But, according to the fans, he could not do so due to dishonesty.
In the quarterfinal match of men's boxing, India's Nishant Dev had to face defeat from Mexico's Marco Verde. The judges gave a decision 1-4 against Nishant. Indian fans seemed unhappy with this decision. This is because Nishant was leading in the first 2 bouts. But, after the third bout, he lost the match. Fans are hurt by this decision of the judges along with Nishant Dev.
Nishant Dev was one step away from securing a medal in the Paris Olympics. If the result of the quarter-finals had been in his favour, India would have been assured of another medal.
But fans say that the judges have made Nishant lose the match he won. He deserved to win but what happened to him was robbery.Nishant Dev's match was being played at midnight Indian time. India's legendary boxer Vijender Singh and actor Randeep Hooda are also shocked to see the dishonesty that happened with him. Like other fans, both of them also reacted strongly to the decision of the match on social media at midnight.
THIS IS ROBBERY!! Nishant Dev was the clear winner.
Boxing is so rigged, no one knows how the judges are scoring. No transparency, just unorganized & based on favoritism & luck. WWE matches make more sense than this clownery they call boxing rn!#Boxing #Olympics #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/qyra7K7qVV— sohom (@AwaaraHoon) August 3, 2024
