Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

This HW fight is garbage

Actually I take that back the fighters arent very good but it is a pretty entertaining fight

Feel pretty sorry for the Cuban getting robbed. Can't believe Joshua got given the first two rounds.

Says who? Fidel was supposed to be dead 10 years ago. The dude is a fkin zombie.

Hahaha you are right

Talking about Zombies and Cubans you should check out the movie "Juan De Los Muertos" ... The Cuban Shaun of dead

[engleby]

joshua will win the gold, once you beat a cuban its right to the top of the podium

you could tell joshua was very nervous, he needs to not let the crowd hype him up, but thats all down to experience

the cuban came to british soil, so he would have needed to be more convincing, it was very close...

it was the best fight and not sloppy like all the other ones

this is the olympics not some frank warren show. savon clearly won the last 2 rounds.it was a gift for the londener and it was not a bit close

Not gonna lie, haven't seen it but just looked at some screenshots and it looks... funny. Lol

Fidel dead or alive, he already has people to take his place..

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

Yeah I never tought that he might follow his uncle steps.

But after this robbery, I don't know if he will like to participate in another "Olimpiada".

So he could go the other way thanks to this disgrace and follow the steps of Erislandy Lara.

savons career will remain being a amateur till he retires, its a shame most of these cuban boxers never turn pro, he could go far, but i'd see him more of a cruiserweight, reminds me of David Haye, very slick, fast hands

Jousha was made to be a HW, i can see he packs a punch, but his footwork needs a lot of work...

yeah he will never turn pro...especially considering who his UNCLE is and that is unfortunate because his style would do great in the PROS

[BetterCallSaul]

I just checked in the London 2012 rule book and section 103b clearly states - All competitors who strike Anthony Joshua with a clean and legal blow will be deducted one point.

Fair win no doubt.

Man i hope oscar valdez dont get robbed against the irish dude in
his next fight.

[New England]

just watched anthony joshua...

he looks the part, meaning he actually looks physically impressive (his physique,)
but he's not good at boxing. he reminded me a bit of mitchell. he punches like a guy with extra muscle. it's cumbersome and it slows him down.


i thought he cuban beat him soundly with some good old fashioned boxing.

that was a genuine robbery. you could see it in the faces of joshua and his opponent, as well as the reaction of the crowd.

joshua may be popular in the pro game, though. he's got the looks
