t, who is the goon on with Richie Woodhall today? Time to get them both off and stick Neilly on.Yiliterate said:
Good start for Ogogo, particularly with what he's been through recently with his mother being taken ill this week. He'll be up against it in the next round though against the Ukrainian...
Ogogo did well, really pleased for him.He's not long returned from having a shoulder operation too.
His mother had an aneurism.
His sister flew back from Oz 37 weeks pregnant to look after her too, talk about having distractions!
Still, his brother in law flew back too, and he owed me a pint, so some good came of it.
Nice to see a local lad doing well.

Anyone watching this tonight? I've been trying to watch most of the boxing, this lad from Mozambique is taking apasting.
I've been watching this evening though have called it a day now that Ron McIntosh is commentating!The Mozambique guy took a few big shots, fair play for him for keeping going. Super seeing the little Thai chap take the win against the Algerian. Woodhall had the Algerian all bigged up the Thai fella made him look like a cynical, gormless scrapper.
During the Breazelle (USA super heavy fight) they mentioned a project/gym I read about in BN recently, The Rock funded by a games show millionaire.
Sounds like a good place to train!

Oh dear this Japanese welterweight is so weak. Game though.
Apparently almost didn't make it to the ring tonight...he got trapped inside a wet paper bag
Say that again Apparently almost didn't make it to the ring tonight...he got trapped inside a wet paper bag
Disgusting result
What a disgraceful result, robbed by the ref and judges
What a relief! I thought he was very lucky - I was surprised he was up 2pts after round 1 - he did better in round 2 but clearly lost the third. Looked tense, tight and very flat footed + got beaten to the punch too often.
Ironically he might do better against the more highly rated Europeans/easterners who have less movement and speed than Savon and are more orthodox but tough/rough and big punchers. Should be wars.

As I said in the other thread on the Olympics in general, I thought that after the 2nd the scored probably should have been level, the suban seemed to land more in the second and at best the GBR lad nicked a draw in that round. However, he was completely outclassed in the 3rd, seemed to drop his work rate and didn't defend terribly well either.
Hopefully he wont come across that sort of boxer again, and I can see why the cuban is rated so highly, very fast feet, excellent movement around the ring, decent punch but seemed to lack a decent guard and head movement.
