Should Anthony Joshua do the honourable thing and step aside and give Savon his win?

    It's the only thing he can do now if he doesn't want to be seen as a disgraceful human being for the rest of his career.

    I voted not sure. It was a close fight under amatuer rules that Joshua edged out. Now you gotta remember that Am and Pro rules are far different. Maybe under pro rules he woulda lost

    So many people are crying about this yet the guy who was supposedly robbed hasn't bothered to appeal, so maybe he disagrees with the critics.

    Well it's not the 1st time there have been dodgy decisions in amateur boxing let's face it. Roy Jones got shafted in Seoul as did Mayweather as was Peter Konyegwachie against Meldrick Taylor in the 84 Olympics.

    How? AIBA wont overturn the result only because Joshua wants to.
    (Personally i thought Savon deserved the win)

    It was a close fight under Am scoring, where the part of the glove that lands has to be the knuckle unlike professional scoring. I was impressed with both fighters however with Savon going into the final round with a 2 point disadvantage it was always going to be hard to get a win. Wouldnt surprise me if you were one of these butt hurt Americans bitter over the fact that US Olympians are dropping out like flies :lol:

    Am scoring is very strange anyway, it wasn't a robbery under those rules.

    How's it a troll thread? Park Si-Hun after all apologized to RJJ and offered to give him 'his' gold medal after winning by a disgraceful robbery.
