    no chance of it being overturned, unless Jshua committed some fouls that went unnoticed, which he didnt.

    Up to you, it a forum for discussion, and yes Joshua isnt the full package, but he is raw and actually think he has a good chin.

    His balance is pretty bad, and thats becuase he is top heavy.

    Just wish every moron would stop saying Josh had favour or was lucky..it was a close fight, and big Josh was robbed against Majidov last time in the worlds.

    Its all good, he will be a huge name.

    D. Haye
    T. Fury
    D. Price
    D. Chisora
    A. Joshua
    D. Whyte

    Thats stacked british heavys

    Although Joshua did lose his first fight, he has been tested during this boxing tournament. And i will have to admit that he has gotten better with each fight, i was just disappointed about his first fight. The fact of the matter is that he won all of his remaining fights legitimately, and for me i criticised him for being static and slow, also standing square on. He still stands too square on for my liking, his stance is just too square on. I still think his ability is overrated, but he will always have success due to his size and physical strength.

    But he has did well, and apart from Savon who frustratingly looked like he didn't even get out of first gear against Joshua.

    Apart from Savon who maybe would of went on to win this Olympic Title.

    Joshua has proven a worthy Champion.

    I had Cam winning, but this is not gonna get overturned, too much riding on Joshua's shoulders.

    Joshua's been given 2 dodgy decisions, wonder if he'll be given the Val Barker?

    There's nothing he could of done about the decision, it's his job to fight. I am not really a big fan of the kid, but i have recognised his efforts to overcome that first lost. He has faced the best opposition, and has been under fire in his remaining fights from his opponents but he raised to the occasion, and fought back.

    He's Olympic Champion, not 100% creditability in his Olympic Title, but due to all of his fights that came after Savon, he brought back some credibility.

    I don't think his performances have been as emphatic or inspiring as Audley Harrison in 2000.

    But none of the less, he got lucky his first fight and fought on.
