Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?

Post by TheLeprechaun »

Has he retired?

Pretty tedious character and turned out to be the second coming of Tony Jeffries

Not half as good as he thought he was. Don't see him as the type that would be happy spending the rest of his career fighting at domestic level and unfortunately for him that's his ceiling IMO.

He's a bit of a gobshite but he always came across quite knowledgable whenever I've seen him on tv. Maybe a career in the media might be the best way for him to go?

What did he win at Olympics?

Had he won his last fight, he would have been ranked by the WBC.

He was pursuing reality TV gigs before he was even a name in amateur boxing. Always struck me as a delusional self publicist, more interested in fame than actual fighting. Wasn't surprised to see him stopped by the first tough pug he met.

To be fair I think he was doing the reality show gigs whilst he was out long term injured.

What chance him being a Eubank IBO defence?

Its a shame if hes packed it in,theres too much talent gone to waste if he has.I think he should make a fresh go at it,to give up after his first meaningful fight is a shitbags way if im honest.

I had no problem with him doing the dancing shoite,it was whilst he was recovering from an achilles injury so I always saw some benefit in at least getting some publicity whilst recovering.The lad has had some bad luck with injuries,I think hes always had a problem with one of his shoulders too.

Excuses aside,he did rate himself more than he should have considering the level he was fighting after so long and the inactivity aswell.I dont know his age off top of my head but id definitely like to see him give it another go.

He was a housemate on Big Brother way back in 2008! He's been at it a long time.

He's is a bit of a looker to be fair. Couldn't watch a youtube video back before the Olympics without him coming up first with some Subway add.

I get the impression that very similar to Jeffries they both over achieved in the Olympics and got themselves a medal.

This then raised expectations but they didn't have the talent or qualities required in order to live up to those high expectations.

Was one of the main recipients of gift decisions at the 2012 Olympics which helped ruin the games for me. Still, the Beeb never seemed to get upset, yet were moral champions in Rio when things were funny.

Never rated him as a professional got schooled by a Cunningham . Would love to have seen Spike O'Sullivan v Ogogo but i think its fair to say that wont happen anytime soon. :wave:

I didn't think the decision in the final was that bad tbh, it was very close and could have gone either way.

The Savon score was a fvcking travesty though.

Yeah he doesn't like jalapenos because he has a sensitive mouth.
