    I don't think it was a robbery, but know i'm going to be in the minority

    Either way

    That was obscene , no way he won that fight . Cammarelle must appeal the decision .

    Come on mate, it was very close, the home fighter will get the nod in this situation 99% of the time

    I mean, I scored the third in favor of Joshua myself, but by three?

    Also, it should have been a little wider than 13-10 heading into it.

    Nice way to close down olympic box with Joshua losing two fights but given a gold medal anyway. **** this ****.

    It was closer than his unofficial loss to Savon was, to be sure. :yep

    Still, feel Cammarelle clearly edged it.

    Felt the italian should have won it but Joshua came on strong in the last round. A bit favourable but not to bad. Joshua - Savon was alot worse.

    Well done Joshua.

    Whats Teddy Atlas saying?

    I had Camarelle up 5 points if I tallied correctly. No nods to have here, just robberies.

    i thought savon won by about 4-6 punches against josh, robbery
    only saw cam beating him by 2-3, this one was more of a gift than a robbery, IMHO

    I don't blame nationalist fans for the scoring. I blame them for bragging about or trying to rationalize poor decisions, which is what that comment was made in anticipation of.

    For all the **** levelled at the British for robberies in these games, its the AIBA that is running this racket.

    Its the Brits fault because we get behind people and make a lot of noise in arenas? Maybe the other guys need to step up their cheering game?

    Joshua has put in some gutsy performances against Savon and Cammerelle even when he was getting outclassed. He didn't deserves the gold but he certainly doesn't deserve any abuse.
