    Yes I think so, the british olympic team is very good this time with 3 or 4 fighters with decent chances of a gold medal

    Probably... I saw the draws and it doesn't look good for the US. And of course the lack of skill.
    The UK will probably lose their new "heavyweight savior" in the first round also though.

    All I know is the USA cant box for **** without home-advantage, home refs and home judges.

    They rely so much on home-advantage and home town crowds/refs/desicions that when they dont get that advantage they end up failing hard.

    Hopefully Anthony Joshua knock Savon out.

    That will be great.

    The amateur program in the States is in shambles and there has been no sign that it has turned around at all.

    I don't think Joshua is the dead cert people are saying he is. Mind you it's in England. I do expect a medal.
