HW prospects..

[TigerFan]

Medzhidov dominated and stopped Mwamba (Congo) in the second round.

Omarov (Russia) vs Breazeale (USA) is up next.

[TigerFan]

Omarov defeated Breazeale 19-8.

Breazeale suffered a couple of standing 8's in the fight.

[TigerFan]

Did anybody see the other two fights? How did Cammarelle look?

[TigerFan]

Dychko (Kazakhstan) looked very impressive beating Pfeifer (Germany) on points 14-4.

Ivan not only looks like Vitali but fights like him with the low guard + the upper body movement. The only difference is Ivan is very light on his feet. At 6'9" he moves like a lightweight

Definitely a dark horse to win Gold.

2008 Silver Medalist Zhang Zhilei is up next then Joshua-Savon

[Cressa121]

Did anybody see the other two fights? How did Cammarelle look?

Cammarelle looked quite good but the Ecuadorian just stood in front of him looking for one big shot throughout. He did land one towards the end that made Cammarelle's legs sag a bit but by that point he'd already had a few standing counts and was well behind.

[TigerFan]

Zhilei (China) stops Linde (Australia) in the 2nd.

I remember the Duva's were interested in signing Zhang to a pro contract. Maybe he'll go pro after these games.

[TigerFan]

Joshua (Great Britain) beat Savon (Cuba) on points 17-16.

Home cooking. I thought Savon should have won.

Joshua (Great Britain) beat Savon (Cuba) on points 17-16.

Home cooking. I thought Savon should have won.

I'm inclined to agree with you, especially with the third round which I thought Savon dominated by four or five points.

[Beanz]

Joshua (Great Britain) beat Savon (Cuba) on points 17-16.

Home cooking. I thought Savon should have won.

Can't see it myself. It was close, but home cooking is a bit wide of the mark IMO. Savon was light on his feet but flattered to deceive, he was not that difficult to hit and Joshua caught him time and again. Savon may have deserved a wider points margin in the third but the same could be claimed for Joshua in the first two rounds.
