Thread: Italy Vs GBR

watching the Super-HW fight between Italy and GBR, and gotta say that Britain's Joshua seems to have potential as a pro if he's taught to keep his guard up high, he's a big lean fighter with good range but he's a bit wide with his punches if he'd keep it tight he wouldn't be struggling so much right now

and he wins the Gold

Disgusting. Cammarelle was robbed.

I thought the fight was pretty damn even, plenty of missed shots by both and thought Joshua clearly won the last round, and won it clearer then Cammarelle won the other 2, not the worst call at these games

It was a fair decision, on the appeal Cammarelle lost by a wider decision , I had Joshua winning by 2
points.

I thought he was very slow. Granted he's only been at it for 4 years

Joshua, will become a Star. Basically a Novice, shows He can handle the Big events,its remarkable His progress.I remember years ago that I told everyone, who would listen, that Audley wouldnt make it, while ever He had a Hole in His arse. This Kid is going to be Massive.

I'll second that. I think he'll turn pro now and slowly move through the rankings in the way Price is right now. I hope Matchroom sign him so he gets on Sky, then again Boxnation is doing Ok for itself so Warren may well be OK for him to start his career with. Whoever it is that signs him it'll be a big money deal and I can't wait to see him in a Pro ring.

I think he can go far, like Scrap said he's a relative novice at this level. As long as he isn't rushed along early he can do well.

He proved able to rally himself in a moment of adversity and looks full of untapped potential. With the right trainer he could indeed have a great future as a pro.

Ive spent a bit time one Day, with Him. Comes over as a really nice Lad. Think He might stay another year, with the Amateurs, be better experience for Him.

overall he strikes me to be these Olympic game's "golden boy", he has talent, the look, charisma, shows promise

Joshua should not be in the final he lost clearly earlier in the competion
to a cuban.

No he didn't. the Cuban was clearly hitting time and time again with the the WRONG part of the glove. The inner part is not a scoring shot only the knuckle part and the cuban was slapping all fight.

Yeah I think he's better suited to pro's than amateur ranks but as Scrap said, staying in the amateurs will build his experience. I always feel like the skill set is learned in the amateurs. (Unless you're Mexican apparently and you can just fight straight out of the womb)
