Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
Has he retired?
Pretty tedious character and turned out to be the second coming of Tony Jeffries

Re: Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
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.

Re: Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
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.

He isnt that good either,area title or maybe english thats it. Thinks he is the british version of de la hoyaStuarty30 wrote:Not half as good as he thought he was.

Re: Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
Blimey...bit harsh...Olympic Bronze Medallist and only one pro defeat (with a fractured eye socket)...
Re: Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
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?

Re: Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
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.deadpan wrote:To be fair I think he was doing the reality show gigs whilst he was out long term injured.

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.
Re: Whats the story with Anthony Ogogo?
I saw a tweet the other day by frankie gavin that Ogogo has just had surgery on the injury

Bit late isn't it? It happened 4 months ago.

I get the impression that very similar to Jeffries they both over achieved in the Olympics and got themselves a medal.TheLeprechaun wrote:Has he retired?

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.

He was on Question Of Sport a week or two ago
Think people are being hard on him personally I always thought he comes across as a really nice guy.

I didn't think the decision in the final was that bad tbh, it was very close and could have gone either way.thepocketrocket wrote:Yes, his two defeats!

The Savon score was a fvcking travesty though.

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