I felt like this guy really showed something against a viable oppenent in Dychsko. What a fight, and I don't believe it was a wrong or biased decision. I felt Ivan won the first Joshua the second and third. This guy definitely could become something when he turns pro.
Yeah the 1st fight should probably have gone to Savon, but it wasn't as bad a decision as people are trying to make out. The Usyk-Beterbiyev decision was a lot worse, and there was 5 fights in a row on that day at heavyweight, that were a lot worse than the Joshua-Savon fight.
I remember after the World Champs all these Eastern Euros were trying to discredit Anthony Joshua as well, they were the same saying Dychko would beat Joshua easily. Some are still blowing cold air, but most of them have stepped back, because he's done what he's supposed to do,
I really appreciated his use of the jab in this fight, and will wait to see who he signs for after the Olympics.
I'd love if he escaped from all the hype, got good coaches in America, and started off on ESPN fight night undercards or something. I think the American's would like him as well.
Honestly as much as I would love to see him perform on ESPN cards, Atlas observing his improvement so forth and get a good American trainer....they will pay him better in UK. He could fight on Prizefighter tournament, Price/Fury/Haye/Chisora/Groves undercards and make pretty good money.

I still laugh at the comparison's to Lennox, but he looks to have a lot to work with to be fair. If he improves his overall movement I think he could have a decent pro career.
Joshua reminds me of a HW version of James Kirkland, albeit with a better jab, better guard, and better chin.
He's got bag of talent and natural ability, so he has the potential to go far. I expect big things from him, no doubt.
i can already tell you he will be better than audley, but if he turns pro he HAS to sign with a good promoter, we cant be having a repeat of Audleys early days
I don't know if Beeb done that much wrong. It was all Audley - essentially he was a boring fighter and just wasn't very good and all his A-Farce promotional shite didn't help.
They eventually had to feed him to Danny Williams and that was that.
Someone like Joshua who is at the least more powerful than Audley and more aggressive would be stopping Audley's early opposition brutally - and develop quite a highlight reel. Casual fans would love it.

The ony fighter thus far at the games that I can say looks to have a promising style for the proffesional game, looked wise beyond his years in there. Looked patient and new what he had to do to get the win, which when all said and done is probaly the greatest asset you can have.
Joshua, hope he get KTFO in the final. He shouldnt be in the semi final at all, since he clearly lost against Savon.
Hope the Italian gives the corrupt London games a real lession and knockes Joshua out.
Dychko won the second round clearly and by a wider margin than Joshua won the 3rd yet they scored it 4-4. One robbery and one gift and he's in the finals.
u talk ****

I agree, and also believe Dychko deserved better than 4-4 in the first round. It is what it is.
you have some people because he is not from their Country they don't want to give the guy PRAISE
but I am American and I knew about Anthony Joshua before these Olympics, it is certain guys you see one or two times and right away you know and and just feel it that a guy has SUPERSTAR POTENTIAL, you could see it in guys like Roy Jones Jr., Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, ANDRE WARD! at a early age and/or when they are fighting at Olympic Trials and competing in the Olympics
Anthony Joshua is the REAL DEAL, he could be that NEXT BIG CROSS OVER SUPERSTAR in that Heavyweight Division, not just in the UK either, he could also be big in the US as well, just all Depends on who Promotes Him and Trains Him on the Pro Level
In the RING yes he has weaknesses but they are all Weakness that are correctable like his Defense...unlike some guys who don't have Power or Don't have a good Chin...Joshua has a lot of natural talent and abilities to work with
From this Olympics I was also impressed with Lomachenko of course, a few of the Cuban guys ESPECIALLY Erislandy Savon who likely will never turn PRO, Terrell Gausha I think is going to be a excellent PRO as will Oscar Valdez and a few other fighters I can't really think of their Names at the moment

Looks like a knockout victim to tell you the truth.
No head movement and comes in straight lines.
He did do a good job against Dychko, but was schooled post to post by Savon.
The only problem with the Savon fight is Jousha went all out in round 1, he let the crowd hype him up and was gassed...ever since that fight he has taken his time. I put it down to inexperience, he has never been infront of a crowd or stage like this, where everyone is rooting for him.
Dyc was no joke, a real contender and he got his face smashed pretty hard
Man and the blood coming from Dyschko. What a fight, Dyschko though showed some nice ability but Joshua faught like a champion.
Dyschko is also future talent, i am sure they will meet again in the pros...
Dyschko needs to work on his defense and jab though, he walked in to some heavy punches, i thought he was going to drop when Jousha landed a right and then in the 3rd he hit him with a nasty uppercut

Naw Savon in the 3rd schooled him but the previous rounds were pretty much even. I would give Savon a slight nod in the 2nd but yeah in the 3rd Savon came through big time and I think won by a slight margin. Not as big a margin as others on here talk about though.
