    I'm as biased as **** for our lads but bloody hell, I thought Savon won every round very easily. I know Joshua landed a few nice right hands and pressed the fight but what a disgraceful decision it was. When big Ron announced after the second round that Joshua had extended his lead I thought I was hearing things.

    Hard to see how Joshua won that fight. These boxers have trained years for this opportunity, only for some of the bouts to have been decided before the fighters even get in the ring.

    You mark my words, teamGB will finish the Olympics with a record haul of medals in the boxing. Some of them justified, some of them not so!!

    that was bad Savon was robbed but the fights prior where the ref penalized the Cuban 2 points in the first round then DQed the other guy in the second was shocking

    And the Japanese bloke who got robbed. As these tournaments go it'd been doing quite well with the controversies up to now, seems like they saved all the bull**** for today.

    Is what it is. Don't hate on Joshua. He probably knew deep down Savon won the bout, but its not his fault the judges shafted Savon.

    This is why the media in Britain are assholes. They put immense pressure on our athletes and there is no need for it.

    could have two or three protests after tonight's proceedings, shocking officiating on numerous occasions. Bad night for amateur boxing.

    It was a robbery. But it's no surprise. This happens every Olympics.

    Yes, Britain might end up with more boxing medals than they have boxers. :lol:

    The Iranian guy got the worst mugging, from a small white man in a white shirt.
