Gavin v Eggington

[Primo Carnera]

Cunningham wins! Big upset. Gogo's legs were stiff and he was going to lose.

You watch Ogogo Retire in the post fight interview! He don't want it.

Brilliant round! Sam dominating and hurt Gavin with heavy shots and was nearly stopped.

[Master]

Sam is getting cocky. Gavin is fighting back with southpaw skill.

[Batman]

fucking brilliant, fuck you Frankie you coked up blue nosed bastard

[Master]

fucking brilliant, fuck you Frankie you coked up blue nosed bastard

I am sure Sam came in blue too.

[Master]

Sam stopped him, another upset. Great performance. I thought Sam would be weakened by the body shots but instead he beats Gavin with them.

What a fight that was, Gavins finished now surely.
Definite contender for British foty so far that

[Primo Carnera]

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

[Master]

Gavin should have stuck to his boxing to win the fight. Sam was like Corales, giving away his height just so he could fight. They should have a rematch.

Ogogo looked seriously rusty to me. He was tense, couldn't get his shots off and he dealt with his opponents southpaw style really very badly. In the amateurs, a much higher proportion of fighters are southpaw and you would have thought an Olympic bronze medalist would have fought and beaten many lefties, but it didn't look like it.

Ogogo got badly shaken many times by a guy with almost no history of knockouts, but who managed to out think and outbox a very decorated amateur. Maybe Ogogo had an off day, but I've never really thought he was going to a world beater.

I feel sorry for the guy, because he always turns up fit and makes weight (unlike some), but his litany of injuries just be so heartbreaking and difficult to deal with.

Frankie Gavin is just annoying. You could see he hadn't trained properly, has back had sagging fat on it and he was fleshy around the shoulders and arms too. He is a very skilful and cagey boxer, but carried no power because he is at the wrong weight. He showed some heart in there, but he certainly accepted the defeat too happily afterwards. Very little hunger in the guy.

Good luck to Eggington, but I cant really see him competing with people like Shawn Porter, Thurman, Brooke (?), Vargas or Garcia, never mind Pacquiaio. He was a bundle of energy alright, but he looked to me like he was gassing out. Easy to hit as well and he was getting asked up by a comparably light puncher.

Insightful As always.

Promoter Barry Hearn says the British Boxing Board of Control should look into the circumstances of Anthony Ogogo's loss to Craig Cunningham.

Middleweight Ogogo was retired by his corner in the eighth round, having suffered a fractured eye socket.

But reports suggest he might have been injured before the fight.

"The boxing board will want to get to the bottom of this situation because it's not good for boxing and it's not good for the fighter," Hearn said.

Ogogo's clash with Cunningham was among the bouts on a show promoted by Hearn's company Matchroom.

The loss was Ogogo's first as a professional in a career that has been blighted by injuries since he won bronze at the 2012 Olympics in London.

The fighter from Suffolk, who is promoted by the Sauerland family, spent a year out with an Achilles tendon injury in 2014 and dislocated his shoulder in his comeback fight.

"It's a really dangerous injury and something you don't play Russian roulette with in your own career," Hearn added to BBC Radio Suffolk.

"Anthony is a talented fighter. It's not the end of his career, but it very much depends on his own resourcefulness to continue and achieve his dreams.

"There's no doubt it's a huge setback, Anthony was a big favourite to win that fight."

Hearn just can't help himself when it comes to criticising and sticking the knife into the training, preaparation and handling of fighters who aren't his.

Grinning, greasy untrustworthy car-salesman twat.

Ogogo I am afraid will not be a Champion, again promised a lot but has not produced.
The pro game is very hard he's a good armature but he seems a bit fragile at pro level.
