Robson Conceicao believes that the London Games judges are "biased" after his defeat to Briton Josh Taylor.

Brazilian lightweight Robson Conceicao has slammed the judges at the London Olympics as "biased" towards his British opponent Josh Taylor after his 13-9 defeat.

Conceicao was the aggressor in the pair's bout but Taylor was given the result after some solid defence and counter-attacking, but the Brazilian has claimed the result was given to the Brit because of home support.

"The judges were very malicious," Conceicao said. "It's not fair because I think the judges favoured him because of the crowd and that shouldn't happen in a competition like this.

"It hurts a lot, I was fighting really well, making the points and the referees didn't give it. I'm sad."

Conceicao lost to Yang Li in the first round in Beijing.
