Cammarelle disgusted by loss to Joshua, Plans to turn pro...

Joshua awarded the victory over Cammarelle in a very close fight.

Former super-heavyweight Olympic champion Roberto Cammarelle claims that he was disgusted with amateur boxing after not being given the decision against Britain's Anthony Joshua in the final at the London Olympics on Sunday.

Cammarelle was looking to make history by defending the super-heavyweight title he won in Beijing back in 2008. The Italian won two out of the three rounds but Joshua put on a fantastic performance in the last round to bring the fight to a draw. Joshua, 22 was awarded the fight on countback and Cammarelle was left with a silver medal, which is still a great achievement but not what he was looking for.

The 32-year old's coach Francesco Damiani protested the result to the AIBA but was unsuccessful. Cammarelle also spoke out about the Olympic judging:

"It's not Joshua's fault, but the Olympics were held in London and here evidently somebody likes to win in this manner," said the Italian. "This type of boxing no longer represents me and I don't like it."

He also added that he will not be attempting to regain his Olympic title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, he will now go into the pro ranks and start punching for pay.

Personally, I don't think the decision was actually that bad. The Italian was rightfully ahead by three points at the end of the second round, but Joshua did more than enough to level the score. Some of the decisions at London 2012 have been terrible, but this one wasn't.

I'm sure that a lot of people are really looking forward to see Cammarelle turn pro as he does have a good solid style that would be affective in the professional game and there's also a lot of good fights out there for him. The main one being a rematch with David Price. Cammarelle defeated Price in the semi-final of the 2008 Olympics meaning Price was left with bronze and the Italian went on to win gold. This fight would probably be way down the line in both of these men's career, probably after Cammarelle has eased into the pro ranks and Price has already fought some of the big guys (Either Klitschko, Haye, Fury, Povetkin). However, there are a lot of good match-ups in the near future; Rematch with Joshua, Dereck Chisora, Alexander Povetkin, Seth Mitchell, just to name a few.

Lomachenko looking to turn pro after London 2012!

Vasyl Lomachenko, who is regarded by many as one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time, is considering moving in to the paid ranks and fighting in America right after the London 2012 Olympics. The Ukrainian has achieved all that there is to achieve as an amateur and is eager to achieve even more as a pro.

"I'm thinking about turning pro after these Olympics are finished. I'm thinking of a U.S. debut," told Lomachenko to the 2X2 Ukrainian TV channel. "The real prizefighting is in the States. It's level, the best fighters - all of this can be found only in America. Frankly speaking, I see no professional boxing in both my native Ukraine and in Europe."

Lomachenko is still only 24-years of age but he has already achieved so much. He jumped to stardom after his fantastic performance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics where he won his first Olympic gold medal. He has also won two gold medals at the world championships in 2009 and 2011 and he also became European champion in 2008. He will no doubt add to this collection of trophies and medals at this years Olympics. If your passionate about amateur and Olympic boxing... Vasyl Lomachenko is the man to watch out for!
