There's cobwebs upstairs, but seem to recollect the announcers saying that by Olympic rules, a solid hit counts just as much as a glancing one. Ergo, while Ali pounded you, Teofelio would land four or five jabs, which would count more than a solid knock to the jaw. Not entirely certain why that stuck with me, but explained your question Script. Also recollect that there was a 'white square' on the boxing glove, and a hit indicated a point or somesuch. Probably had the fastest hands every, also recollect that's why he didn't dominate the HWT boxing circles. Couldn't break an egg (clearly an overstatement), but piled on points.
PS, wasn't Oscar's performance(s) before the three-point shot?
