    Any Olympic amateurs could pull a DelaHioya and become a star?

    Anthony Joshua and Anthony Ogogo are being hyped up a bit, Joshua fighting at Super heavyweight standing at 6'6 and has been praised as a future world champ by Lennox Lewis whilst Ogogo campaigns at middleweight and seems to be the next Amir Khan already becoming a poster boy for the sport (that ****ing annoying subway ad i pass on my way to university everyday)

    Anthony Joshua is actually fighting his next bout in about 10 minutes against Savon Cotilla Erislandy of Cuba (round of 16)

    Joshua is leading 6 points 5 to after round 1, its a really good fight so far

    Savon is rated #4 whilst Joshua is #3, cracking fight!

    Savon creating problems and actually moving back and counterpunching in round 2 however Joshua is coming forward well

    14 - 12 Joshua at the end of round 2

    Both a little conservative seeing how close this last round is but Joshua is landing some hard shots whilst Savon is moving well and countering and is doing better now, very close! SAVON HURTS JOSHUA! Whose taken it?

    Both fighters believe they won . . . here we go . . . . 17-16 . . . . JOSHUA TAKES IT!

    Great fight between these two! can not wait to see either one in the Pro's, with a little work who knows how far these two can go?

    Joshua will go on to fight Zhilei Zhang of china (age 29) who won silver 4 years ago at beijing and won his last olympic fight against an austrailian via stoppage in the second round.

    Tough fight but I believe Joshua can stop the former silver medalist as he doesnt move his head as well as the cuban savon and lost the gold medal in 2008 via KO to Italy's Roberto Cammarelle who is also fighting in this tournamnent

    The US HW's were ass this OLY 's.
    (Let's see if they go pro)

    ^Their conditioning was laughable.
    (MMA fighter's laugh at their conditioning that's how bad it was)
