I have a question on Olympic boxing: when did it stop being a proper amateur affair, with headgear etc and become basically a modified pro set up, and allowing pro boxers to fight?

The bloke that beat Harry Garside carried on like a dickhead after the fight. Would love to see the arrogant prick get hammered in the gold medal fight but TBH he was a very good boxer.
