Comments Thread For: Anthony Ogogo Registered Blind After Fracturing Eye Socket

[sicko]

Things just never went right for him as a PRO, seems like it was always something while he watches Anthony Joshua who he was in the Olympics with become a Star as well as others from that 2012 Olympic Classic who are either Champions already or getting ready to fight for a World Championship

*** these ****** ass Fans, fighters need to work on their damn Defense "POTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES! Move your ***ing HEAD! Just seen a guy Saturday on the Undercard of Linares vs Crolla II, I think his name was Marcus Morrison or something like that, OMG some of the worse Defense you will ever seen in boxing. No Head Movement, Reflexes or anything, just stand right in front of Combos being thrown and try to cover up and block them

He said he was having double vision and COULD have been registered blind. Apparently he's had 2 operations but the article does not state after which point (the first fight or one of the ops) that he had this double vision.

The headline is extremely misleading...then again this is boxingscene where people have the IQ of a gnat.

The most pertinent point from the interview is that Ogogo had surgery even though he was warned not to. That is sad.

At euro-level and thinks he can be world champion with one eye. This guy is poor-mans Amir Khan.

Or if you take a more sympathetic look... He was just told he can't do something that he's been working at all his life. Now he has to do something else even though everything in life got him to this point in boxing. He probably dreamed of making millions and headlining events. An Olympic medal had him on the perfect track. Now all of the sudden he has to try to find a desk job?

Exactly! Most boxers are not college educated, so what job are you even qualified for when the only thing you may can put on your resume is: 2012 Olympic Medalist.

Please. Amir Khan lives on a different plane of delusion. Don't compare this can to a true master of the craft.

Yes of course! what was I thinking? this guy still has a couple more brutal KO's to get to that level.

He could try to become a trainer or something.

Is this guy one of the most uneventful former olympic medalists in recent times?

To be fair, he was an undeserved medalist in a weak division, not like the likes of Audley Harrison or others who at least won their medals in fashion and showed real potential.

You guys do know hes been a model and on TV shows acting a fool dancing or being a host for boxnation right? I don't think too many Olympians are unemployed...but whatever go blind if you like.
