British Fighters In The Olympics

[superheavyrhun]

Well, the first of the British fighters has been in action in the Middleweight division, and Anthony Ogogo really was a step ahead of the Dominican, cruising to a 13-6 win. Some good lead rights against the southpaw, and he built up a lead in the second round, letting him just land the counters in the third.

He's got a world champion in the next round, but still, a very good start for the Brits in the ring.

Ogogo looked ok.
I have tickets for next sat and a few quid on Joshua for the Gold.

Ogogo is a bit unlucky, drawing the World Champ next won a few pounds on him in his first fight.

He's in action tomorrow, along with Fred Evans of the GB guys.

Joshua has a tough opening fight. He's fighting the nephew of Felix Savon...Erislandy Savon. I think if Joshua gets by him he'll medal.

It looks like there's not too many easy draws for the Brits here, and drawing a Cuban has to be disappointing for any of these guys.

Today, Fred Evans is on at 4.15pm, and Josh Taylor on at 8.30pm according to the schedule.

Was a nice first round draw for Agogo. I think the Dominican was their 2nd choice guy if I heard the commentary correctly? Might have been better to get a tougher draw initially to ready him for the world champion in his next fight.

Interesting, Agogo has moved up to Middleweight. He used to be a welter didn't he? I remember the ABA final a few years back where he was dropped quite badly..he got up to win so he has the heart. Just hope his chin holds up to the heavier shots because he's a decent boxer.
