Seriously, if I had been training for a good part of my life and I was robbed like that I'll be pissed too.

He lost in the prior match to the Italian guy(mizzoula or something). He felt that he deserved the win but was robbed the judges. The Italian dude ended up winning the gold. So in this guy's mind he would have won gold if he was given the win against Mizzou...

Something like that.
