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!!!

He was the better boxer for the first and almost all of the second round, and the worst decision in the bout was the second eight-count he got given. That said it was close and could have gone either way.

Absolutely spot on mate , totally agree . I think the this is a sport where the home nation status actually helps with the atmosphere both helping the fighters themselves but also subconsciously helping us with the judges.
 
yes, surely gold in shooting now, wilson's reopened his 2 point gap after he'd let his lead slip a little. between him and 1 other bloke it seems
