    I wanted Joshua to win 100%, but not like that.

    Tomorrow Savon is going to feel worse than Davis did after his stroll through the potting shed. He got ****ed, hard.

    I agree, I want all the GB boys to do well but IMO that result was awful. I thought the Cuban outboxed Anthony with ease and showed a few flaws in Anthony.

    I was expecting so much from Anthony but was really disappointed in him tonight, he looked slow and robotic, I think he has done really well in such a short space of time getting to the Olympics and I hope he learns from today's performance and improves because IMO he'll need to improve to win the gold.

    What irks me more than anything is the fact that the commentators seem to be happy to brush it under the carpet as if the correct decision has been made. In fairness, it hasn't just been this fight, the scoring in general in the olympics this year has been poor overall in my view.

    Agree with that. Found it disgusting that neither commentator mentioned the scoring and just heaped praise on joshua.

    Like some others have stated, although it's completely wrong Joshua progressed, lets hope he pushes on now and makes the most of his extremely good fortune.

    What a complete and utter robbery...

    I was so impressed by Savon's speed, co-ordination and skills.

    Savon was robbed....

    This now gives me a reason to watch the superheavyweight division, because i was only really following the progress of Anthony Ogogo.

    I honestly will be supporting anybody who has legitimate won their first bout, and i hope then beat Joshua.

    Richie Woodhall is so biased in favour of our fighters it's hard to listen to. Savon just schooled Joshua and won that by around 6-8 points. Disgrace.

    Was at the fight and Joshua definitely got a homer. 100%

    If he is fighting that Chinese terminator looking dude then he needs to improve sharpish as he looked the business

    At least in the 1st you could argue to some degree that Joshua may have edged it. The 2nd, however, Savon took by a mile. That's when it became obvious how it would go.

    No doubt, but Cammarelle's KO but down any hope of them trying to give them a gift result..
