Not seen it yet, just wondering how hes looking as its his third fight this year now, does he look to have overcome his injury problems fully etc ?
I like him and i think it would be nice to see him achieve his potential.


Another point on the show too, It was in Germany, sanctioned by Austrian boxing federation, featuring a couple of british boxers, no double standards there then eh...
If everything was to be done by EBU and bbbofc the same way as MBC/Biba are treated then Austria should be excluded from the EBU and their shows not put on boxrec and listed as "unofficial commisions" and there should be fines and suspensions given out to Ogogo and Charlie Edwards and the boxers competing on the shows removed from their national rankings.... Not gonna happen though is it... Hypocrisy at its best lol.

Anyway the post is about Ogogo not the other stuff...

I only saw a few highlights on SSN and he looked alright but it's hard to tell against these type of opponents. The guy he fought gets stopped quite a lot and was never going to test him in any way. I read him saying he's feeling good and ready to kick on so let's hope we see him in a few decent domestic fights between now and the end of the year. Guys like Etches, Arnfield, Taylor even Ryder would be good to see next. He's not ready for the likes of Eubank or Saunders and won't be for a while. Him and Langford would be good to see but that's probably one for next year I'd imagine.

Would he in your opinion be ready to step to someone along the lines of Cello Renda next before the top of the domestic guys, or is that still too big a jump currently ?

Yeah I'd put him in with Renda bud. He's got a bit of time to make up after the injuries so these are the type of guys he should be looking at. If Eubank vacates then he could maybe think about going for a British shot before the end of the year or start of next year. I like the idea of Ogogo v Langford. I don't think Langford is miles ahead of Ogogo tbh.

That's a good shout.I didn't see the Ogogo fight but Langford would be a decent test when he steps up the rounds.

I think Ogogo should be really looking to push on next year. Keep fighting every 6-8 weeks until January.

Then push on for a biggish British title fight.

I like ogogo, he's personable and he's very marketable. But it seems like he's been pro since the Los Angeles olympics
