Is Roberto Cammarelle going to turn pro?

I doubt it, but I wouldn't mind seeing him as a pro. Great skills.

 

If i'm not wrong, he has bronze, silver and gold medals in olympics superheavyweights; he has fought versus David Price, beating him when he was a youngster; he has fought and beated several actual pro boxers, included Anthony Joshua in the last year's olympics; but since he was fighting in england at the england olympics, against an england fighter, he got blatantly robbed at points; anyway, i think it's too late for him to turn professional and win something, he would have a short career, not longer than 5-6 years

 

:bart There was a few bad decisions at the olympics the way there always is at amateur boxing tournaments, that was not one of them and In an answer to the op he's joined some weird sort of aiba professional boxing league recently, I'm not really sure what to make of that though. It's also important to note Italian government pays it's Olympic medalists extremely well.
I seem to remember seeing they were paying their medalists more than any other country in the world $182,400 for a Gold about $150,000 for a silver and that will be on top of whatever his regular wage is.

 

I thought Joshua won that fight. It wasn't a robbery. I did think he lost to the cuban though IIRC.

 

Absolutottley NO SIR! He wood no that he is never best heavy of his own country.

 

Pianeta

 

No one ever beaten cleaner version Bianco Buffalo. :bbb He will be first since Carnera.

 

Yeah, where is he?

Right after the Olympics there were reports he was going to go pro but nothing so far.

I hope he does go pro, the division needs it.

By the way, untill now the professional HW division received no amateur talent influx, none. Please correct me if I`m wrong.

Along with Cammarelle, Joshua, Medzhidov, Dichko, Omarov, Kuzmin, Zhilei, Savon also didn`t go pro.

 

Cam and Zhilei are 30-32, Medzhidov 26 and everyone else 23 or under along with Hrgovic, Nistor, Yoka

The last crop Glazkov, Price, Mago, Pulev were 26-29 when they turned pro.

 

It's weird how a lot of the more talented amateurs seem to want to stay in the unpaid ranks.

 

I don't think so. The Scene made some dumb headline about him turning pro a few months back, but it was just for page views.

Cammarelle would be a top HW. He absolutely decimated Price in the amateurs. One of the most one-sided schoolings you'll ever see, capped off with a KO.

 

Absolute rubbish.

Perhaps they're not so "unpaid" anymore...

 

He waited too long. I never understood him not turning pro years ago, after first olympic medal.
