    Glad the Brit got through, well done! The amount of jabs alone he ate though puts the scoring to shame. This is boxing though, people get gifts and people get robbed. It probably balances out in the long run!

    That was definitely an home decision, he was too slow and his footwork is sloppy
    TBF he has only been boxing 4 years but he still lost

    I thought he lost every round.

    Joshua got lucky. Very lucky.

    But he seems to know that himself, so I'm not going to hate on him.

    The judges can die in a fire though, as can the scoring system.

    Savon probably deserved it but it was hardly the worst decision ever. Flowy combination punchers never get the points they deserve, simple one twos wIn points, Joshua boxed simple.

    I want to say **** he's **** but the look on his face was that of man that knew he was dominated and lost by at least 8pts.

    Disgusting, Savon completely out classed him! Just a sloppy hometown decision, for Josh's sake I wish him the best, but for the hometown folks, I hope he loses the next round because he didn't deserve that.

    So tell me: What discernible difference in someone's facial expression would there be if they lost by 6 points? Or 10 points?

    Lose by 10 points? You'd probably look something like this.
