Just watched that, extraordinary! Love how the crowd got right behind the Japanese lid

Yeah, it's a bit panto but even the Japanese guy commented positively on how the crowd got behind him. I love how respectful he was at the time even though he was robbed. Footballers could learn a lot.

When you are an olympic athlete, how do you get that tired after two and a bit rounds of boxing?

He obviously wasn't that tired. He was cheating and purposely going down. The ref should have issued a standing count each time but he issued 1 I think, if that. Disgusting.

But justice done, unlike in the super heavyweight where the boxer was disqualified for holding 3 times even though it was mutual. Three letters: F, I and X.

Got into a chat last night about the refereeing. Ogogo was tied 18 each with the Ukrainian. So countback was level as well 52 - 52.
Fair play on the vote at the end of it, red or blue. Fine. But how is this judging scoring working, it gets more peculiar day on day. Pleased hes through. Go go Ogogo!!!
 
That ogogo result is stunning to be honest , fighting the world champion & no1 seed considered a real chance of being the 'boxer of the tournament' and he's edged it. Absolutely great result
