Good win by Joshua, he fought really well.

Dychko has movement, but he doesn't have the strenght of Vitali, Vitali is miles ahead of Dychko.

Joshua surprised me, he beat fair and square the chinese and Dychko.

But I can't stop thinking that Savon should be here, instead of Joshua.

I been backing my boy Joshua from the start I told everyone he would beat him in a close fight. And people were claiming the kaz fighter was the next big heavyweight. I'm a big believer in Joshua and I believe both these 2 will be big players in the pro future

We will finally get a superheavyweight division it appears.

The days of Wlad/Chambers Vitali/Adamek are over.

Well Boystov, Andy Ruiz, Haye, Arreola and many smallish Hw's will give them hell, you will see.

Just look at Russo beating much bigger men, Bigger doesn't mean better.

So do you guys think that Joshua can beat Cammarelle and take the gold?

yea maybe now, but in 3-4 years time, these guys will be the real deal, most of the other pros will be retired, maybe WLad will be around

Jousha has potential, as does Dyc then we have other big HW's such as Price, Chisora is still young and i'm sure there is more talent coming through in the HWs

[MRBaLL]

oh ok I see Cammarelle is HW, who is Joshua fighting?

Cammarelle is a super heavy.

IMO, Joshua should win. Camarelle was looking past it up until tonight's great performance.

It might have been the last flash of greatness from a brilliant amateur.

I watched the Evans fight but can't believe I forgot about this fight. How did it go down? Worthy winner?

Just watched today's fights. Other than the usuals, I was very impressed with Robeisy Ramirez, 18 year old kid out of Cuba.

Searching articles about Lomachenko and Russo signing with AIBA Professional Boxing, I stumble in to this yahoo article.

And looking at the comments in yahoo, 271 comments...The Poster Boy of the AIBA Pro Boxing now has a fanbase in the US too and is making waves at the US mainstream media haha

Also it seems the fights of the World Series of Boxing have been counting on the Pro Record... Javier Torres, a HW, began his Pro career with a 2-6 thanks to the WSB, interesting story because fightfax ("The record keeping standard for boxing" that Promotional Companies use) are putting those fights as pro fights so, many american fighters will already have losses like Gausha, going in to their supposedly Pro Debuts.

I suppose fightfax will still put the records of the new AIBA Pro Boxing at their page.
