Gavin v Eggington

[Primo Carnera]

Gavin just said he's just seen that he was ahead on the cards. Are they fucking serious!

[Primo Carnera]

Macklin talks a lot of sense at times, but I can't agree with him about that being Gavin's best professional performance. If it was, that just shows how much Gavin has blown his career.
How can it be a great performance if you've let your opponent impose HIS style on YOU?
There's a lot to like about Eggington, but a fully fit, dedicated Gavin with the boxing skills he has surely should be too much for him.
It's almost like Gavin was punishing himself for his lack of professionalism by seeing how much he could take.
I'm pleased for Eggington though , he's down to earth and he deserves everything he gets out of the sport.

Anthony is ogogone

Never thought i'd see Gavin in a cracking fight. Ironically, even though he got chinned, that was the most impressed i've ever been with him. Unfortunately he can't crack an egg and is to lazy to train down to the correct weight division.

Never thought Ogogo was a world beater but fuck me that was a bad loss. He looked clueless, got schooled, was puffing out his arse after a few rounds and quit. Not long before he's working full time in the media because he clearly ain't going anywhere in boxing.

Anthony Ogogo was retired from his fight against Craig Cunningham on Saturday because of a fractured eye socket.

The middleweight (11-1-KO7) suffered the first defeat of his career against Cunningham in Birmingham, with his corner calling the WBA international middleweight title fight off in the eighth round.

Ogogo had been knocked down in the second and was reported to be suffering with blurred vision when the fight was brought to a halt and his team said on Monday that a specialist believes the injury had been caused before the Cunningham fight even started.

The 27-year-old, a bronze medallist the 2012 Olympics in London, now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines for the third time in his professional career, having only fought once from July 2014 until May 2016 because of Achilles and shoulder problems.

Craig Cunningham caused a big upset by stopping Anthony Ogogo inside eight rounds and says he is good enough to go right to the top
He said in a statement: "Firstly I would like to congratulate Craig Cunningham, his coach John Pegg and all of his team. They showed true class and I take nothing away from them. Despite what is an incredibly difficult time for me it was a pleasure to box in Birmingham.

"After seeing an eye specialist today it turns out that I have fractured my eye socket in two places. Given this, my vision and balance were affected to the point that I had to be pulled out.

"As soon as I went back to the corner after the first round I realised something was wrong, although at the time was unaware of the extent of it.

"Despite being bitterly disappointed I would like to thank my corner for pulling me out. Boxing is a tough sport and despite wanting to try and get through the fight on Saturday I realise my health must come first.

"This is obviously an incredibly tough time for me. I have overcome a lot of adversity previously and now face an uncertain time in terms of my eyesight with now another mountain to climb. However, I am ready for the challenge and will be giving everything I have to get back in the ring and to achieve my full potential."

Ogogo's promoter Kalle Sauerland hopes a rematch with Cunningham can be arranged when his fighter is back at 100 per cent fitness.

He said: "It was clear from the first round that Ant had difficulties finding his range and timing and that something was off.

"This is a very serious injury similar to that which Mikkel Kessler suffered during the Super Six and we will now focus on recovery before launching a comeback in 2017. Perhaps directly with a rematch if that can be made. Hats off to Cunningham and his team for taking full advantage and boxing superbly."

I think you can tell a lot about the way a fighter looks, obviously you cant be certain but it can give a good indication, and I always thought Ogogo looked a bit lanky and awkward and doesn't look like he could take a lot of punishment

i dont think his style suits his build either
