First round easy for Ogogo, 2nd a bit closer but still for Ogogo I think.

What do you guys think of Ogogo? Im still not sure. He looks a bit scrawny to me at middleweight! He looks like he'd be better suited to super-middle.

He's not under any significant pressure but you know British Refs!!!

Boulden was struggling towards the end of the fourth. Might be a long 6 minutes now.

That was an absolutely awful stoppage, way too early.

Ogogo wins by TKO in the fifth. Good stoppage and a good win for Ogogo

Ogogo is quite accurate, particularly with the short hooks with either hand. I don't think he is a big puncher though(despite the stoppage). Looks to be blowing hard pretty early too, good test at this stage. Decent performance.

Even a slow motion replay hint wasn't enough for Jim to notice the elbow drop on Boulden's head.

Middle / Super middle in 2-3 years time in this country will be great - groves, degale, Eubank Jnr, Martin Murray, BJ Saunders, Ryder and Ogogo will all be at or approaching what should be their peak years.

Ogogo still looks very amateurish in his style but thats understandable seeing as this was his third fight.

He looks a big middleweight does Ogogo. Plenty of big money fights to be made a middleweight in the next 3/4 years in GB. All we need is a personality to shine through!

Benn looked suited to being a pro straight away!

I like Lee Selby; the Sky Guys are bigging up Simon but we all know what happened the last time a Romanian came here to fight!!!

Yeah a bit of a disgrace that, I was wondering if I was seeing things properly...

Selby looking good after 2 - How long can Simon keep coming forward and taking shots, must be frustrating.

That was Benns 3rd fight also. He would have stopped Ogogo in the first. There is no power or personality either. I'm sorry they are just plain damn boring. I am looking forward to see the heavyweight kid make his debut though hope he puts some effort in.

I agree. If people don't look as good as Nigel Benn did in his 3rd fight then they can fornicate off. fornicate right off I tell three.

What are you lot making of this Selby fight. I have him winning well after 10 rounds, but it's a bit messy.

Don't like the way the commentator said Selby makes the weight easily but also gets in the ring 15lbs heavier than on the scales. You can't do both at Super-featherweight.
