    Yes very well said. Savon definately outlanded Joshua and boxed a very good fight indeed yet big AJ still gave a good perfornance in that fight as well. The final against the Italian was a closer fight, he was lucky in that won too. However that was then, he is a hungry young professional now who is developing along nicely. It is exciting to see how Anthony will progress in his career as he ticks all the boxes so far.

    Getting to the finals of the worlds was a fantastic achievement which nobody expected and there was not much to in the fight from what im told.

    I used to get angry thinking about Joshua winning that Gold in London which he was lucky to get, however I am over that now and look forward to him hopefully having a long and successful professional career.

    Yeah just stating it wasnt all for GB stalker also lost a very close decision not enough to call robbery campbell should have been 10 up against the bulgarian! Didnt usa have a decision overturned because it was that bad and thats rare also the japanese bantam got reinstalled after a crazy fight were the ref didnt seem to know the rules

    He lost against Savon clearly that was a robbery. I had him losing the final but it was close.. All British boys were lucky at times in the Olympics.. Campbell squeezed though a close one I'm not sure which one but I though he was lucky.. Always going to get that for a home nation

    In all fairness gb didn't suffer any robberies and gained from about 4-5 of them


    Ya the Japanese lad knocked him senseless and was still adjudged to have lost, the other guy couldn't even come out to get his hand raised

    Yeah have to admit ur right I just remember campbell going into the last a point down and wondering what they was watching then it ended up 16.15 I think. Yeah that japs fight was crazy there was another as well cant remember who or even wat weight but remember him storimg out tge ring not shaking hands or out and sat there crying begging the ref

    Agreed. That was a awful decision. The judges should have been wearing stripey jumpers and a mask

    The Cuban was robbed without doubt but that's not Joshua's fault

    Don't have a problem with the final; the Savon decision was a disgrace.
