Olympic Draw (Boxing)

So if he is lucky he will end up as a journeyman but he might be European champion?

****ing hell...

 

He is a great talent, he has under performed in 1 fight against a world class opponent, people have swung too much in the other direction now. Vastly underrating him.

 

If he's lucky he will be the losing half of eliminator style fights.

A dimitrenko sort of guy, Dallas was overly harsh i'll grant you that.

 

and it wasn't a close fight, savon got robbed blind.

also nobody was calling savon "arguably the best amateur in the world" before he fought Joshua, all the talk was about Tony, Cammarale and Abusmalov

Savon was an honourable mention at best

 

Well Joshua has beat Cammerelle and won a silver in the worlds with very limited amateur experience.

An average boxer does not win a silver in the worlds with the experience he has.

 

This. Maybe there was too much hype at first but the way some people go on about him now atsch

The US superheavyweight who went out in the first round has been boxing as long as Joshua has (about 4 years) and he looked like a complete novice. He was terrible.

If Joshua goes pro after these games remember he'll only be 23 unlike like Audley who was 30 or Price who was 26/27. So he's got time on his side. Whoever promotes him will just have to take things slowly, ignore all the critics who'll call for him to be matched tougher and just let Joshua develop.

 

The guy has boxed for just 4 years and people think he has already reached his level! the guy is a work in progress and truth is we don't know how good he can be. We should reserve our judgement give it a couple years and see where his learning curve is at before we decide what level operator he is.

:think Tempting, i might go for that myself

 

cant see lomanchenko being beat, he is one class operator...

 

This guy who freddie evans is fighting is he the same guy who got knocked out by anthony fowler?

 

^this think degale is more gifted than saint george

 

Who's watching the boxing?

Who we fancy in the first?

 

that semi final vs camarelle is on youtube, joshua didnt win, they got the italian out the way so the local lad would have an easier opponent final

 

Russian looking superb. Difficult to see him not winning gold- though I hope I'm wrong
