Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

That just erased everything positive from london Olympics.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

**** OFF you twats. That was not a robbery. Every close fight and the same ****ers start crying about robberies. **** off.

 

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.

 

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.
