Cammarelle vs Joshua was sloppy as hell. The Italian is good but he has an ugly style. I think the only time either of them landed more than a 1-punch combo was from Cammarelle when he had Joshua on the ropes at the end of the 1st. Thought he was gonna RSC him.
Just got done watching the SHW bout... Close fight but I think Cammarelle might have edged it. Joshua is cruder than I initially thought. I'm surprised he's done as well as he has. He doesn't even commit with his right hand, it's more like a pushing punch though maybe that has something to do with Cammarelle being a southpaw.
OK, finally got around to viewing Nicola Adams vs. Ren Cancan...it was the only gold medal match I'd not caught... Figured I ought to finish making the rounds for posterity. Besides, Adams and Cancan were the world #2 and #1 respectively heading into the Olympics and this was a rematch of their meeting in the world championships this past spring. Cancan won that time, 14-10... [yt]buCxfwywbas[/yt] [yt]OWJ7zEzmtzk[/yt] [yt]JUELvSHZvlM[/yt] [yt]0BmWsBH4O5g[/yt] Round 1 IB's score: 6-2 to Adams.
