    He does look clumsy, I think Harrison's was a worse performance. Joshua is still learning. Bit harsh, but I see where you're coming from.

    Are you messing..? Audley Harrison won everyone of his fights.? I have gave credit to Joshua on his efforts after his defeat to Savon, but the kid would of been pinged everywhere by Audley Harrison 2000..:lol:

    Yes he is big and strong, but he looks clumsy, slow, lacks abit of co-ordination. People keep banging on about him being a raw talent, apparently he has natural ability. Fighters with natural ability pick up motor skills and co-ordination fast, he's been doing boxing for 4 years, that a ****ing long time when you are a adult.

    I don't think Joshua can really improve leaps and bounds, maybe iron aout afew areas of his games here and there, but people are making out that he is going to blossom into Optimus Prime.

    Say what you want about Harrison, but you cannot knock his amateur career.

    Not particularly. It could have gone either way.

    A robbery is when one boxer clearly wins the fight. This was a very close call.

    Capeche?

    Judges often score close fights slightly discordantly; a point either side of the draw for example, which is natural. When either fighter could get the nod - like we have just seen today there's going to be mixed opinion. He thought Cammarelle just nicked it, but realised it could have gone to Joshua due to the nature of the contest - therefore on these grounds it's not a robbery and not a stupid comment.

    Some people are taking the 'robbery' claim well out of hand.
