If you think the Agogo decision was bad, you'll be having fits when you see the Joshua one. It's pretty clear our boys are getting some favourable treatment, here. It's embarrassing.
A robbery is a one sided schooling with the wrong result, all robberies arent equal. Ogogo was competitive under the current scoring system & was lucky to get the nod on a very close decision. Deal with it.
I thought Joshua lost. The first two rounds were close, the last was a trouncing. Haven't seen the Ogogo fight yet.
It is a **** scoring system and has been for a long time. I felt Joshua won the World Championships but he lost to the hometown guy. This is not a case of RJJ in 1988 being robbed, it is a case of a dreadful scoring system and judges being swayed a bit by the crowd. The reality is that body shots rarely get scored and if a guy throws a combination of 3 fast shots that all land he is never going to get 3 points, because the judge cannot hit the button fast enough with the other judges also hitting it fast enough at the same time to add points. If it was simply corruption then how the **** did GB win bronze rather than silver in the gymnastics? Why didn't the diving duo get a medal instead of 4th place? I have yet to see the Joshua fight, but according to everyone it was an awful decision and Savon should have won. But a large part of that is down to scoring. If Joshua lands a jab, he gets a point, if Savon then fires back with 4 great shots in a fast combination, he might score 2 points, maybe only 1 if the shots are quick enough. It's a terrible system that needs to be removed.
Khytrov is levels above Ogogo. You tell me if he deserve the rank 1 spot. The situation is nothing alike. Joshua and Savon are two highly rated prospects. Khytrov is a mega prospect, Ogogo is just some Brit who's mom is sick. Even if Ogogo won 40% of that fight (which he did), it's still embarrassing for Khytrov. I also love it how nobody talk about the 2nd standing 8 count.
Unless someone knocks them out, Joshua & Ogogo are pretty much gauranteed gold medals. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm starting to doubt it.
