Comments Thread For: Craig Cunningham Drops, Shocks Anthony Ogogo For TKO Win

[Sid-Knee]

I am curious to know how many people said that Ogogo wasn't the real deal BEFORE his first loss? It seems that as soon as a guy loses, suddenly he was "overhyped" or "never any good to begin with".

I've never rated Ogogo even when he was in the Olympics. His style is pretty awful and looks like he's walking through quicksand.

Didn't think he'd lose this early in his career though. But he just couldn't get to grips with that southpaw stance.

People are still in shock that they did not witness another robbery in the UK! but Cunninham knew this coming into the fight and smashed Ogogo! but Cunningham better enjoy his 15 minutes of fame before he faces an American.

You keep on following your daddy and hoping for the best son. Hahaha

Nobody is giving Cunningham any credit, he had a look of determination on him. The fight was stopped to re tape AO's gloves and there was a delay and the corner threw in the towel.

wtf? lol I
ll have to catch a reply

and yes, Cunningham is a good fighter and should get credit for beating the golden boy

I never thought he was that good. To be honest, i forgot he was even active.

Like most British olympic medalists, he got some good exposure and he was marketable for things off the back of that because of his looks. In reality though, the exposure he got at the start of his career probably was greater than his talent. And even if he was a good prospect, his career has been stop-start though injuries which probably hasn't helped.

It's not like he's even that marketable anymore with his looks or whatever, he can't ride off the back of an olympic medal anymore and he just isn't that good a pro fighter, so in and out of boxing he holds little value anymore. He's a bit of a helmet too, i doubt his ego will allow him to stay around and be a journeymen. He won't have that many more fights.

I just got texted the result for this fight as I was on my way home. It did not come as a surprise. I can't remember the context of the thread but a year or so ago I said Ogogo was concentrating too much on being a celebrity, something fighters do after an established career, rather than concentrating on creating an established boxing base.

Then I found out that he was fighting Cunningham, who I've seen on the small hall shows here in England and he is a solid fighter. Levels above the guys Ogogo was fighting before and I just felt an upset could be on the cards.

What makes it worse is that I'm hearing he quit. If that's true, then I'm shocked. Ogogo has always been very determined in the gym and apart from the slight mental dip following his issues around 2012, I always felt he had a big heart. This is really surprising me.

Most of the people who responded to my post have the same opinion about Ogogo. Perhaps this was a bad example of the point I was trying to make. The responses were pretty educated and detailed so props to you guys. I forget how knowledgeable boxing fans can be sometimes.

There is nothing positive about your poisonous self. Nothing.

You live in the most backward western country on the planet.

Americans aren't held to higher standards because the world actually despises you.

If you hold your Boxers to high standards, it's got to hurt when they're beaten by the Brits all the time.

You do not log off when watching British Boxing because you're a creepy stalker who has an inferiority complex. As I say, keep on watching your daddy.
