    His conditioning didn't seem great to me. He was always tiring in the last round of fights so I imagine that is his main issue.

    He seems very vulnerable.

    He's dog****. He was already a semi celebrity about 2 years ago and why?

    There is NOTHING outstanding about this kid. British champ at very best. More likely commonwealth

    Calling someone who won a bronze in the Olympics 'dog ****'. Where's your medal?

    He can't throw a normal right hand it seems. Can't straighten it out.

    I know, most days i think people on this site are just bored and couldn't care less about boxing. Ogogo just needs to tighten up his defense and like mentioned previously he needs to improve his stamina.

    At the end of the day, HE'S STILL FIGHTING AS AN AMATEUR. Of course theres going to be a **** loads of things that he can and WILL improve on. His conditioning did look a little suspect but thats something that can be overcome by. He's still only 23 and he did us Brits proud at the Olympics!! Fair play to the guy

    Are standing 8 counts in amatuer boxing a sign of a glass chin? not the most knowledgeable about am boxing, but it seems that some of the punches standing 8's are given for do not seem to be good indicators of a weak chin, or am I wrong?

    I agree.

    Never understood the hype or attention he receives, mediocre at best.
