He's not too bad. Don't think he would do much as a pro though.

What an exchange,
Good chin on Savon |
|
By:
Savon worked him out I think
 |
|
By:
I'm a GB fan, but I don't know how they are scoring this in our favour.
|
|
By:
Savon going to win this
|
|
By:
I think the Cuban should get the verdict
|
|

Boom

Shock

lucky boy home town verdict
|
|
By:
vey lucky decision imo
pleased to see our boy win but the better man lost imo |
|
By:
I actually feel quite sorry for the Cuban. Was the better boxer all the way through.
|
|
By:
good fight,that could have been the final,why no live scoring on screen ?
|
|
By:
yup poor lad the cuban, deffo landed more clean blows
|
|
By:
joshua will go a long way in the game,good chin,will be a good professional imo
|
|
By:
Cuban robbed there. No way Joshua won that 2nd round and definitely lost the 3rd by a decent margin.
|
|
By:
Think the China man will beat him
|
|
By:
joshua will win the gold

I've been wondering that - assume it's because they've changed the scoring system, 5 judges - two most extreme scores dropped then take average of other three wheras when they show the scores they were registering when 3 judges pressed a button to signify punch landed. |
|
By:
yes joshua threw very little last round
fyi they only show the scores at the end of r1 and r2 and then not til the announcement |
|
By:
Thought it was close the Cuban by 2 or 3. Joshua has just knocked out the best "technical" boxer in the division. Kid is 22 only been boxing 2 years
|
|
By:
there's home town advantage for you. cuban certainly nicked it.
should be good for a few golds in boxing and gynastics judging by that |
|
By:
seriously needs to learn how to punch to the body

By:
Joshua in a good place now, don't rate the AZE World Champ that much, big puncher but poor technically. Think the man to give Joshua most trouble will be Dychko from KAZ, a good mover for 6ft 9!
|
|
By:
they've changed it so boxers and coaches don't know the score during the rounds
|
|
By:
poor reason if that's the case - not crowd or viewer friendly.
Not sure what the down side is of boxers and coachs knowing the score. Particularly as it's boxing where scoring controversies are not exactly unheard of. |
|
By:
impressed by joshua but do agree with some of the posts above, the cuban probably suffered a marginal hometown verdict
the disqualification of the Iranian was ridiculous and hope they protest and win their protest, the problem was the cuban coming in with his head low all the time |
|
By:
It s stopped so that fighters fight the all of the last round rather than spoiling and running
|
|
By:
its to do with 'integrity of competition'
there will be an announcement on the website of the official body of the sport http://www.aiba-london2012.com/ |
|
By:
I get the point about preventing a fighter spoiling and running but would have thought the integrity of the competition was better served by having the scoring visible to participants, coaches, stadium audience and TV viewers at all times.
