Murray came into the competition as the world bronze medallist in the 54kg.
Beijing: China's Gu Yu caused an upset in the Olympic boxing tournament on Tuesday by defeating Britain's Joe Murray in the bantamweight category.
Murray came into the competition as the world bronze medallist in the 54kg but reputations counted for little as Gu advanced into the last 16 with a 17-7 win that left the British camp fuming about poor judging.
But afterwards Murray also said making the weight limit had been a problem, his comments coming just days after Frankie Gavin, Britain's world lighweight champion had been pulled out after officials feared for his health if he carried on trying to beat the scales.
