    Your way off the mark. More judges scored for Savon but the system requires 3 judges to score a poit at the same time for it to count.

    I felt he was a little tense, Scrap points out it was a massive fight for the kid. He did well enough i mean considering 4 years ago he was chilling at home watching DeGale win the Gold and had never laced em up before the kids a work in progress and in a way i think this could do him a favor some of the hype before hand was getting beyond silly.

    He seems a humble lad as well..

    just watched the 1st 2 rounds,what the **** is everyones problem,just goes to show how much some of you know about boxing,****ing outclassed my arse.i wil go and watch the 3rd now and come back and give PK some **** the know nothing no mark


    17/16 was a robbery,seriously you lot who are bitching, especially PK give up to boxing,what a good amateur heavyweight fight that was,both giving it each other,both catching each other in all rounds,a good close fight.

    oh and PK don't come back with a full ****ing essay on why your right and im a ****,your wrong and so is every other 5 or so people who agree with you,get over it and get behind our man,twats

    :good I can imagine he's a genuinely nice lad from a interview he did with Ifilm London seemed likeable and engaging.

    Big praise for him from yourself Scrap, I think it was in round 2 he showed some fantastic defensive skill as slipped and slides out of range. The kid has talent. Raw talent but sometimes it's good to be a little rough around the edges. Hope your right about him. If he does make the grade as a Pro he'd be great for us as fans and as a sport on the whole..

    Exactly. All this bollocks about 'robberies' is pathetic. Some people need to grow up

    Had Savon ahead but it was a close fight certainly not a robbery

    You are a complete **** and a complete and utter no mark.

    I am right! You know this, that is why you are so upset. I am enjoying this, while you are crying like a *****.

    People in general are not stupid, i am not the only person stating it was a robbery.

    This fight was a robbery mate, you know i am right! You're behaviour matches somebody who being incredibly defensive, because they know the point they are arguing is completely and utterly wrong.

    I am not bothered anyway, i will be supporting any fighter who has legitimately won their first fight and i hope they beat Joshua.

    People keep saying he has only been boxing for 4 years, 4 years is a long time when you are a adult. Anthony Joshua is just a big guy who has decided to box, he's got slow footwork, he's slow, and one he's one dimensional. But fair play to him he is just a big strong kid who does the basic's to a satisfactory standard.

    The things Joshua needs to improve, are the things that are hardest to improve. Co-ordination/motor skills, speed, athleticism, and he clearly has not got a boxing creative mind. This is clear to see, because he was throwing the same two punches over and over again.

    He reminds me of a charactor off Golden Axe for the master system.

    Look how they only do one move, they are big strong guys that only do afew moves.

    For me this is Anthony Joshua mate, see it and love it....:lol::lol:

    I think McCracken, has made Anthony Joshua watch Golden Axe and also games like Altered Beast.

    And he has based his style on these characters.

    :lol: Here's Altered beast.

    Anthony "Alter Beast" Joshua.

    How about acknowledging it was a **** decision and that Anthony wasn't the winner, I know it's not his fault, but trying to claim it was legit result is just pathetic, I'm aware of the flawed points systems but there was no doubt in my mind Joshua lost it clearly.

    It'll be bitter sweet if he does end with the gold.
