Why are there two bronze medals in judo?

In boxing, if one of the semi-final losers is knocked out, he can't box

again for a certain time period as a safety precaution, and it

wouldn't be fair to take away his chance at a bronzemedal just

because his semi-final opponent was so much better than the others,in all other

cases the losing semifinalists both get a bronze in Olympics and other games because ,

there are no qualifying events before the main events .
