Well Tom, it's pretty remarkable that the decision was "fairly obvious" to you considering that you don't know what was going on. The US boxer did not lose the bout on points, but rather on a disqualification for continuing to fight after the referee twice said "Stop". The "decision" being (probably unjustifiably) questioned by Jim McKay was the upholding of the disqualification by the protest arbitration committee.
