Zhang packs a punch and so does Dychko, but they arent slick or use the ring like Savon. All these remaining contenders are very stiff big guys, so you can expect more heavy blows and nobody will be running around the ring.

Surely Joshua will go on to win gold proving he makes the distance in the remaining bouts? You probably need to score at least twice as many clean shots as Joshua to win. For every one shot Joshua scores, the opponent will need to score two basically.
Joshua will win gold IMO.

Joshua is at home, it is going to be hard for anybody to get a win over him, plus nothing against the other fighters but this my have been his difficult match up in terms of style because of Savon slickness and outstanding footwork and overall SPEED
it is already predetermined that Anthony Joshua is winning gold in his DIVISION unless he gets Knocked Out! But take nothing away from Anthony Joshua the guy has legit talent, but I thought Savon beat him especially with that 3rd Round performance from Savon...but hey what can you do, best of luck to Joshua the rest of the way

For once i agree with Dancov...thought Savon won that quite clearly. Savon was hugely impressive and i would love to see how he would fare in the pro's. Man these Cubans dont **** about!
Not taking anything away from Joshua though, he got a gift decision but he still looked good. I think he's made more for the Pro game and is a huge talent, but he lost that fight.

The giant looks like a damn Ballerina in there, he has the best footwork of the HW's that remain in competition.

Savons best bet is to claim political asylum, although i am sure he cares too much about his family to leave them there to die because the Cubans are known to take vengeance on family members
His uncle/Trainer never ditched Cuba and he won 3 golds, so i think Savon will follow in his footsteps sadly
