Suranjoy as well as Indian coaches GS Sandhu and Iglesias Fernandez clearly showed their displeasure to the judges for not awarding points to the Indian despite him having landed a series of punches to the Chinese's face.
Chang, who was fighting for the first time in an international competition, also conceded: "My opponent was very strong."
Coach Sandhu said: "Suranjoy is upset with the result and is in tears backstage. He was a sure shot gold medallist for us, but I can't comment about the umpiring as it comes under the code of conduct.
"However, I promise one thing ufffd this defeat will only spur Suranjoy on to greater heights. He will work even harder and will surely win a medal at the 2012 London Olympics."
