What a fight

Deserves two threads imo

blimey

Think he was very lucky, but congratulations to Joshua

A lot of home decisions this tournement

Won it

Disgusting in all honesty. Feel sorry for the Italian

very, very dodgy decision. well done to him though

There's worse judges on ere than in the fights..

thought the italian had done enough

this all feels very empty to me. bit of uncomfortable viewing

didn't think he won it myself but it's gold to GB, no more biased than if it were in Italy

If the bout had been in Cagliari the Italian would have won,so fair decision.

Ave it seethers.

he has had two home town decisions

Stop talking through your anus Mullah..

I aint seething as NO bet. However was a home decision. Happens in boxing both Amateur and Pro.

What?

I love watching Joshua will be a future star and I wanted him to win.

But that was a sickening decision and brings the whole olympics into disrepute.

I watch that with the sound off.....thought the Italian won that.  I don't like to see GB win Gold medals like that.

Hey gresty do you live in a cave

Rubbish. The Italian was spent in the last and the only one throwing punches was Joshua. No way he was 3 down after the second either.

been loads of wrong decisions this tournament I'm sorry to say

Common sense at last Mr EE

There has Rick, that just wasn't one of them..

I didnt think Josh had it there. I dont buy the "if it was in italy..." argument either. Where are the judges from? We can't be accused of being dodgy if they're not all british.

But that was a sickening decision and brings the whole olympics into disrepute.

Tiny exaggeration I would have thought.

Thought Cammarelle was never 2pts better than Joshua in Rd2, thought Joshua was never 3pts better than Cammarelle in Rd3.

Most of all 18-18???  Missed half of the supposed 36 scoring shots at least!

for me joshua landed some good solid shots when upped the tempo towards the end, but he had been out boxed for most of the fight

I'm glad he got the medal but think it should have gone to the eyetie

Inept? Yes. Dodgy? No. Evens itself out in the long run, doesn't it, they say?

About time we had a decision go for us.
Don't remember you lot up in arms when our rowers were put in the wrong lane.

Look Mullah. it was scored 18 a piece, very close, which it was, but to say the judges were the only people in the world to think the Brit won it is rather silly, don't you think ?

And it looks like they have removed your post as well...

But that was a sickening decision and brings the whole olympics into disrepute.

No hyperbole there,much

Appeal lodged

the three wise men....

Good luck to them with that. Tony will get it by 2 on the recount..

feck me! about time we had a decision go for US?

sheesh both Agogo and Joshua had extremely dodgy decisions in their favour

Joshua extremely lucky to get a medal imo, I had the cuban a clear winner against him

and agogo never beat that ukraine boxer

all the caves are on the posh estate across the road guinness

The scoring of the 2nd round needs to be looked at, how the italian was given that by 2 points is unbelievable ,I would say the italian 1 ahead going 3rd,and has been completley outboxed in the last ,he can appeal as much as he likes ,he didnt win

Dont ask Lennox any questions regarding the scoring system ffs...

Rick you can't hold previous decisions against him. He won this fight, IMHO..

Seething in Squinzano

Apoplectic in Ajaccio

Incandescent in Imola

yes but there is no doubt he benefitted in the first match against the Cuban

ajaccio is in corsica and that's french

Sid Waddell gone?! Fckin hell

Might be seething in London in about 10 minutes

Feck me i haven't got it that cheap since the last century, gresty

yes some appeals have been upheld... although those were very clear decisions mind

ajaccio is in corsica and that's french

Just lol

still, they might be seething in corsica too, bound to supporting an eyetie against the british

If the bout had been in Cagliari the Italian would have won,so fair decision.


Post of the year

result stands...weighed in

Never in doubt

s'pose the italian was lucky to have even been in the final

Don't fret Irish,you can go back to busily jacking yerself off over a picture of Michelle Smith,still the most decorated Irish Olympian ever.

Meantime I shall be busily researching obscure Italian towns

I don't suppose we will see any retractions of some of the nonsense posts seen her. Incidentally people who know the game like Khan and Lewis both had Joshua winning comfortably.

Hope they lose their deposit...........

yes coz khan and lewis are entirely neutral

khan said he thought agogo beat the ukrainian - says it all

GB upgrade for Joshua there. Another Audley Harrison on the way to the pro ranks.

don't see why people should retract their opinions

That is their prerogative but comments such as disgusting, sickening and bringing the games into disrepute are hyperbolic nonsense. It was a close fight. Nobody could have argued that Joshua had been robbed if he'd lost and I feel similar sentiments apply to the Italian who appeared to think he had been invited to appear on Come Dancing in the last round.

If anybody has reason to feel aggrieved it was the Cuban who I thought won the fight against Joshua.
