__NOTOC__

== Olympic results ==
*Defeated [James Omondi](/source/James_Omondi_(boxer)) (Kenya) 5-0
*Defeated [Kaliq Singh](/source/Kaliq_Singh) (India) walk-over
*Defeated [Håkan Brock](/source/H%C3%A5kan_Brock) (Sweden) 5-0
*Lost to [Henry Tillman](/source/Henry_Tillman) (United States) 0-5

==Career==
In the [Los Angeles Olympics](/source/1984_Summer_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](/source/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](/source/Leon_Spinks) in 1987. Later that year, Musone was defeated by KO by journeyman [Steve Mormino](/source/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.
