2012 Olympic Boxing. Day 16

Robs a fucking spastic.


Savon won that fight and that's all there is to it. People have been rating Joshua very highly recently, and have seen him fairly clearly beaten by an excellent fighter from Cuba, thats why we are rating Savon.

Don't worry Rob, I'm sure if Josh' sticks it out in the Am's and really knuckles down he'll win a gold medal at some point.

'Savon the true champ' :rofl

Oh dear.

Its all the same guys who said Khan would never be a world champion. Some people on this forum seem to resent success. As soon as a fighter gets to the top he is slated in some way. Of course it would be different if Joshua posted on here.

In my opiniom Joshua lost to Savon. But Joshua won 3 other fights fairly and I don't beleive Savon would have beaten the last two fighter Joshua beat. He deserves his Gold Medal.

Being real, before everyfight for the next 15 years Joshua will be introduced as "Olympic Gold Medalist" some smart ass on the round by round wil brong up Savon. If you don't like it don't watch him fight. Simple as that.

He deserves kudos for a lot of things, he's a tremendous talent with a very bright future, but he had more than his fair share of 'luck' getting that gold.

I just know how its going to be. The haye for Khan was boring after 1 fight, same as DeGale. He hate or Joshua, which it is, is already boring.

:huh Who's hating on Joshua? I haven't seen one comment on here knocking the guy for anything other than the truth in that he probably shouldn't have got past Savon and was maybe fortunate with the countback win in the final.

I love the guy, I reckon he's quality and really hope he can continue to improve in the next few years be it as an am or pro.

If in a few years time Joshua's getting criticism for whatever reasons, then hate on it then but there's no point trying to read the future Rob :good

For all the 'hate' that the likes of Amir Khan, James DeGale and Audley Harrison have had for whatever reasons, they've also had way more praise, recognition and respect.
