He looked like he tripped over his foot, but it also looked like he took a good shot on the temple. I think the KD was legit.
Khaydarov was a good boxer and he was 30 year old physically matured man, whereas Ward was a 20 year old and that does play a difference.

Notice how the biased judges with the clicker were ignoring every punch the Uzbek landed?
I actually never watched the Olympics in 2004 but I'm glad I view some of that stuff, that was a straight up robbery right there the Uzbek exposed Ward, knocked him down several times and beat him up it was a joy to watch but ruined by a blatant fix job in favour of Ward.

What an ugly fight. How can you call either guy a winner. Whats that say about American boxing when that type of performance was the pinnacle of the US boxing that year.
Ward was holding quite a bit and that first knock down was not legit.
Plus watching that fight lets you know why Amatuer Olympic sucks to watch nowadays.
As much as I love Ward he was very unpolished and looked terrible there.
