    No Robbery. WTF does robbery mean to you?

    It was a close fight. I had Camarelle by 1. But can't argue with a countback decision

    I thought Joshua edged a close fight.

    "Robbery" is thrown around far too often by emotional boxing fans. A close fight can never be a robbery.

    No robbery, it was close could have gone either way I thought Joshua just done enough.

    Close one. I think the real debate is about Olympic style scoring what with the 18-18 (?)and all. Joshua lost 2/3 rounds, surely it should come down to this?

    I'm chuffed for the lad and the fact we've added another gold, but it still feels slightly bittersweet after that performance... as I'm sure it does for him.

    robbery is if fighter A wins by 4-5-6 points etc and doesnt get the decision. That fight was close, i thought the italian won it, but it was very close so cant be a robbery

    Not a robbery, but let's just say Joshua has been extremely fortunate twice during these olympics.

    Not a robbery just a close fight, like the final of the world championships last year when he lost to the home favourite by 1 point.

    War Joshua

    Was a close fight, I was surprised he pulled it back, but then again I was more surprised Cammarelle got the second on the judges cards.

    It was very very close. I thought the Italian had just about nicked it. No robbery though.

    I had money on cammerelle to win gold at 5/1 so would of been just as happy he had won but thought the result was fair enough to be honest.

    My opinion is that you're a mong that is looking for robberies where non exist and you would be better served looking for treasure in your toilet bowl :good
