I definately think that Savon's nephew had more natural talent.
I thought Joshua scraped home against the Italian (who was just knackered at the end) but thought he definately lost to Savon - pretty clearly also.
Do yourself a favour and watch that fight against Savon Cotilla again ... the Cuban kid is/was awesome .... that 2nd round boxing of his was pure brilliance. No matter what medal Anthony Joshua won .. he will never ever be the best s-heavy we have seen in these Olympic games.
Good luck to Anthony Joshua. As others have previously said. The blame of the scoring is not his doing.
Just a shame that most if not all boxing fans who watched his journey through the Olympics will think his victory kinda hollow.
