The competition started with a controversial decision in the first round, when the American
Hyman Miller was declared a surprise loser by points. The American boxing team in protest wanted to withdraw all its competitors. ButDouglas MacArthur , at that time President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, wouldn't allow it, because "Americans never quit."32TeamBracket-Compact-NoSeeds
