    Then you must've missed it, because even the British news outlets were talking about how big of a robbery it was

    No I saw it a few months ago again when I did my Savon and Joshua threads, it was close-ish I like Joshua and as you should know by now, I can be very biased like my recent defense of Khytrov should prove.:yep

    Abbos Atoev vs Bogdan Juratoni was a bad one too from the London Olympics.

    All of Joshua's bouts in those Olympics were close on the cards.

    Defeated Erislandy Savon (Cuba) PTS (17-16)
    Defeated Zhang Zhilei (China) PTS (15:11)
    Defeated Ivan Dychko (Kazakhstan) PTS (13-11)
    Defeated Roberto Cammarelle (Italy) PTS (+18-18 )

    Sorry dude, I don't believe that. Even the British fans in the arena who were going crazy for Joshua during the start of the fight were quiet and damn near booed the decision. My expert ****ysis is that you did not infact watch the 2012 olympics, and possibly may be only a fan since 2013 or so :deal

    I don't remember which, but I do remember there was a bunch of controversy with some particular Caucus country that seemed to get the nod every time, and I think it even came out that they were caught paying off the judges. Yeah the 2012 olympics were a bit of a mess

    It was Dychko who he robbed , cos i remember he flat out lost his fight directly before he made the final.

    It was close but I'm not sure Joshua would've got the decision had it been fought on neutral ground.

    That one was really close too. Haven't seen it for a few years though.

    I thought Joshua-Savon was terrible at the time but the last time I saw it it was closer than I'd remembered it being.

    I remember the Dychko-Joshua fight split the forum pretty much down the line, plenty of fanboys on each side

    I remember riding the Dychko bandwagon hard before the fight, and then saying he was robbed after the fight, but I have to admit Joshua's the better fighter now

    I really don't give a **** what you believe, it was a close fight in my book.:deal I've been a fan for decades since I was a kid and yes I casually watched the Olympics because I watched a lot of the Olympics not just the Boxing.

    I can't remember if it was Dychko or Savon , but Joshua lost one of those fights horribly.
