    Good way of putting it. :lol:

    Robbery is a stronger term than gift, should be reserved for worse and more blatant scoring injustices.

    josh isn't the quickest and leads with hooks too much, i think he is more suited to the pro game but i don't think he'll be anything special.

    im not a brit i thought it was way way too close to call, i still dont feel confident scoring amateur fights, if i had to though i would say the italian by one or two points. it certainly wasnt a robbery. close as ****.

    he looks like an amateur though and hes no more of a threat to the klits than i am. he looks well short in so many areas. he should stay as an amateur.

    Whoa, whoa, ishy. :shock: Never seen you this heated. :lol:

    It wasn't the robbery to end all robberies, no. There were at least a dozen worse decisions in this tourney.

    The wrong man got his hand raised, that's all.

    Cammarelle earned that (somewhat) close but clear.

    Not a robbery but Cammarelle won it, if it was pro's I'd say Joshua deserved the victory more as the Italian looked all over the place in the third round but since it wasn't, Cammarelle seemed like the victor to me.

    No commentary here, plenty of moments on both ends, wrong man won, but not by robbery margins but by the tightest possible.

    I though the 1st was bigger for Russo but at the same time the 2nd should have been closer and a clear 3d round for Joshua.

    It was 1-2 points either way. Not a robbery. Be sensible for a change.

    So you would have scored the 3rd round 10-7 with pro scoring?

    The Italian clearly won the first two no matter what scoring system you used.

    No, no, I dig it. We should try to get that to catch on.

    Mild cases, wrong guy won (for instance Dirrell vs. Froch, in some people's opinion) = gift.

    Severe **** where one guy dominated but lost (ie Santa Cruz vs. Casamayor) = robbery

    Agree, close messy fight could have gone either way.

    That wasn't Russo. :lol: It was Cammarelle, far less of a douchebag than his teammate. (better style, better sportsman, better person)
