    Both looked better to me. Of course, Cuban ammys are often mustard and Camarelle is a world class amateur heavyweight, so there is no disgrace in either fight, but Joshua didn't look like the monster many are claiming now in either fight.

    I don't doubt that he has improved. But these fights show that when facing someone who hits him back, Joshua has had problems in the past. We've seen no-one able to test that theory out in the pro ranks, yet.

    Even Joshua knew he had lost. 'Team GB' were charging around, trying to get scorecards looked at before the medal was handed out.

    I'm fairly sure the fight is one Youtube if anyone wants to watch it and form their own view.

    original link went bust. Less gay and pointless than most these face to face things. Good fight!

    I watched it at the time and thought Joshua did enough to win. Regardless of whether there was a conspiracy behind it to ensure Joshua won, I believe he did actually do enough. Again though, the Cuban bloke definitely beat him.

    Joshua looks like a scary dude when he switches. Whyte just looks a bit simple.

    So he's either Lummox Lewis, Audley Harrison, or Gary Mason 2.0

    I feel sorry for Joshua, I don't see another heavy weight out there that will be able to compete with Joshua athleticism, speed power and raw aggression. He is gonna dominate for next 10 years

    I would be too in all honesty. I'm expecting more of a cagey, tense affair to what I previously thought of this matchup, because of what's at stake, but still confident Joshua takes it. Whyte really doesn't like Joshua, to the point where you would say he hates him. He doesn't want to lose this one, and of course it's a massive opportunity for him. There's so much riding on this for Joshua, because so much is expected of him, but you just know Joshua is purely focused on putting Whyte in his place, to get one over him and to shut him up.

    Don't bother watching the Eubank Jr-Spike O'Sullivan 'The Gloves Are Off'. It's terrible.

    Joseph Parker might be the man to give him a run.

    It's on December 12th on Sky Pay Per View around 10pm GMT, that's 5 PM New York Time or so.

    We will be here and streams will be the most likely source but I might buy it.

    It's quite complicated. But see what you do is you type 'sports streams' into Google then click on what comes up!

    Is probably the worst way to do it.

    Reed, try firstrowsports and myp2p for streams.

    It ain't that easy. A lot of those results are rubbish. You have to search quite a bit sometimes.

    i've never had to search for much more than 30 seconds. Each site always gives you multiple links each - one always works.

    Nee way on earth am I forking out for this next week. It's an important point of principle - if enough people start paying for this sort of silliness it'll only encourage the bastards.

    I don't much like paying for any sports but I'll pay for a decent fight or an important one (I paid for Wlad-Fury, for example). But this is the kind of fight that should be the second support fight on a PPV card, not a headline fight.

    Madness.

    It shouldn't be a PPV event, simple, but Eddie will spout his usual bullshit trying to justify it being PPV worthy.

    Is Eddie Hearn the Bob Arum of England?

    All these ridiculous pay per views.
