He fought hard but he was very lucky to end up on his feet and super lucky to get the decision. I've rated Ogogo since I saw him beat Hooper but he got hammered by Khytrov. He showed heart but all he landed were slappy pot shots that really shouldn't have been scored. Khytrov's jab alone was doing far more damage and landing cleaner than anything Ogogo threw.
the last round sat on the ropes was totally ****ing stupid. he could of made it a lot easier for him self had he kept it at range it nearly cost him
I agree that he was very lucky to win the fight, although if he didn't stay on the ropes like an idiot he could have fought his way to a clear victory.
He lost, but in the third world countries like UK home cooking is on another level. According to british commentators RJJ lost in Seul, why can't Anthony Joshua and Anthony Ogogo repeat what Korean guy did against RJJ.
I just don't understand the judging at these olympics - not just for the British lads either - its all over the place!!!!!
I love it how all the ****ing haters just randomly decided not to talk about this. But BOXREC DID From Box rec The British middleweight had to take two standing counts (one of them unnecessary)
They also did the countback wrong.. it wasnt 52-52, it was 53-52 to the ukranian. So expect this decision to be overturned.
it was close, ukrainian landed harder, ogogo landed more and was busier. 1 more round ogogo would have been ko'd
