Joshua needs to learn how to use his massive size and strength (if he has any)

Too much muscle on him too. Savon was extremely lean and super fast because of it

[Russian Crushin]

More good news

In the BW fight were the Japanese guy was basically KO'd the AZE fighter but the ref allowed him to flop around and win on points was over turned and the jap advanced

Great decision

[Terrel]

u believe Joshua outlanded Savon in that fight?

No. He lost clearly.

That was an answer aimed at an earlier post by someone.

[Russian Crushin]

great to hear the decision was overturned for the Japanese cat

Yes

That was just str8 BS

They did the right thing. AIBA overturned result of Satoshi Shimizu (Japan)-Magomed Abdulhamidov (Azerbaijan) bantamt bout. Shimuzu advances


I hope that ref gets a permanent ban from boxing.

anyone got a video link to the Joshua-Savon fight? I've been looking forward to that fight since it was announced but I've been at work all day. Please let me know!

Good that they overturned that~ not usually for such a thing but that was a grave injustice.

Horrible robbery

I just hope Ukrainian Ievgen Khytrov doesnt get robbed against the brit Anthony Ogogo

And the ukranian dude wont get robbed, he'll get thoroughly outboxed

....Haha but seriously, Khrytov should have it easy vs Ogogo.
