if he does its gonna be a horrible reach bruh. Ogogo isn't beating Khytrov with 4 arms. If we learned anything from the judges tonight though, is that he only needs one.

Honestly i dont even know. Ogogo isnt as "important" as Joshua is. A HW gold medalist is massive in the UK

But when a schooling like that happened and the home guy gets the robbery, you never know

Horrible robbery

I just hope Ukrainian Ievgen Khytrov doesnt get robbed against the brit Anthony Ogogo

I'm worried about that too. Khytrov can punch though so im hoping he'll finish it inside the distance.

These 6 punch combos will not help you win. You have to engage ur brian to win the Olympic title. You can't be overly flash, keep it basic e.g "jab jab right" it looks better to the judges and is easier to score since how ****ed up the scoring system is.

Best way to win this is to keep a tight defense and fight clean, use the jab and don't be overly flash or brutish

I think either Jousha will win or the chinese guy, they have the style these judges like to score

Ivan Dychko will beat both guys

Ivan Dychko will beat both guys

Who does he fight next? if he's up against the chinese fellow, i think he'll get knocked out, i found him a little light on his feet...

The judges are there to score the punches landed, not the styles.

He fights the Canadian which should be easy then the Zhang/Joshua winner.

He fights Simon Kean the canadian and Joshua actually fights the chinese guy next

He should beat the canadian

The Canadian didnt impress me, i found him very sloppy, so yea he should go through


Joshua has a difficult fight, Zhang hits hard and i like his defense, the way he rolls punches off his shoulders and tucks his chin in...Although Joshua has the tools to take it to him, ring IQ will win the day.

Poor Josh Taylor will do well to see a bronze medal even with the judges help in that category.

Agogo is Agogone next round.

Freddie Evans, whilst others seem impressed by him and I was tipped to bet on him, I don't rate that kid at all.

Joshua could probably beat the big Chinese southpaw, he won't beat Dychko though.


All I see is Russian & Ukrainian powerhouses, been impressed by a couple of the Kazakhs though.

Don't forget Zhang is a inch taller than Joshua and a lefty.
