Great round! Cammarelle was ****ed up at the end!

 

but losses to Povetkin multiple times, Romanchuk, Timurziev, Kuzmin, Omarov. He could never get past the Russian SHW's.

 

I seem to remember the only reason he didn't go pro was because he was getting very well paid by the Italian association to stay amateur. Dunno if anyone else know knows more about this?

 

Damn I missed the final shots. That's the problem with trying to watch boxing at work!

 

Not sensitive at all about Loma. His talent stands on its own.

As for Toledo, Loma handled him quite easily in the World's last November. In fact, if memory serves he dropped the Cuban with a beautiful shot in the 1st Rd.

 

Gotta say SHW has been one of the weaker looking divisions so far in the games. Only Cammarelle and Medzhidov impressed in the first half of the round and they were in fairly easy fights. The rest looked pretty ordinary.

 

Savon v Joshua is a very, very interesting bout, think Dychko could be a dark horse as well.

 

Should be a great atmosphere for that one :yep

I've never seen Savon fight but he's Cuban so I'm just gonna assume he's pretty ****ing good.

 

Really good boxer with power. But he's often fighting stupid imo. He loves to hit people hard instead of concentrating on boxing. He'd do better boxing.

Cammarelle has a great job as a policeman, and gets time of to train and is im sure quite happy with his life like that, maybe after this games he may think of going pro for a couple of years to try his luck, seeing as the heavys aint that strong, rematch price as a pro haha

 

He did beat Bare knuckle boxer Davy "Shite in the bucket" Joyce though !!

True story on points in Dublin in a Italy v Ireland duel a few years back !1
