==Career==
In the [[1984 Summer Olympics|Los Angeles Olympics]], after American Henry Tillman was controversially awarded their semi-final contest on a 5-0 decision, the defeated Musone was cheered by the American fans as he left the ring in tears. British TV commentator [[Harry Carpenter]] was highly critical of the decision saying "Musone won that, and he won it well" and "if that is correct judging then I don't know what I'm talking about. I've never seen a man so shabbily treated in an Olympic boxing tournament".

Musone began his professional career undefeated in 18 fights, including a victory over a faded [[Leon Spinks]] in 1987. Later that year, Musone was defeated by KO by journeyman [[Steve Mormino]], who dropped Musone twice in the sixth round, ending the fight. This was Musone's last pro fight. Musone later became a professional boxing referee and judge.
