Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

He deserve any fans either , he would have more fans behind him if he tasted defeat like he deserved. Not one , but twice.

 

Gotta love the Brits:

2011 in Baku: "Joshua was robbed against Medzikhov by these corrupt Azeri"

London 2012: " It was a close fight that could have gone either way, no robbery"

 

A little over dramatic there. He was still throwing and landing. Close fight that I felt Cammarelle edged.

 

good good :good

 

LOL I goofed. They both cost me some money, except for today.

 

Who said Joshua got robbed last year?

 

brits are gay no way around it. josh should not even have been in this fight, yet he gets another gift.

 

Nah I meant if it was scored round for round instead of punch for punch I could see Joshua winning it overall but in this case it seemed like the Italian's victory to me, not a robbery though, seen much worse in these olympics alone.

 

Cammarelle shouldn't have even been 3 points up after 2. No way was he that dominant.

 

boo britanee boo

 

Irrelevant to what I said. But I'll address that anyway.

For some reason people still buy into all this national pride/nationalist bull**** and get behind their guy. You suddenly expect fans who aren't hardcore boxing followers to say "**** this guy"? In that case I expect droves of Mayweather and Pacquiao fans to close their accounts for the robberies/gifts they've gotten.

Joshua didn't deserve gold, but he does deserve respect for hanging in there with guys like Savon, Cammerelle and Dychko. Especially considering he's in no way mature as Savon or Cammerelle as a fighter.

Blame AIBA for boxing. Blame the diving body for any diving **** ups etc.

Cammerelle rightfully appealing. AIBA rightfully listening on in.

 

Great comments from Lennox

 

Joshua got another gift.
