2012 Olympic Boxing. Day 1

Keep leading off with the straight right Ogogo!!!

Ogogo looks strong.

Clear cut round for Ogogo. 8-3 going into the last!

Looking good

Good performance by Ogogo, showed great levels of concentration.

Fucking headguards need fucking off, useless bags of shite

@widdy completely agree.

Pity the changes they were on about didnt happen for this olympics.

War Ogogo!!!!!!

Also worth noting Ron McIntosh is a much better commentator than he is presenter.

Edit - and richie woodhall is class.

Pretty good considering it was his first fight. Settled after the 1st and controlled the fight. Subways does work

Agreed on the commentary there, I think it might be his weird face but he's doing a great job, as is Woodhall.

Agree that this guy who was on Boxnation the other day seems better suited to commentary

O Neils opponent is huge, looks like a cruiserweight.

No offence to the nigerian but he is not overly good

Very onesided

O Neil had him doing a wobble there near the end of the second.

This Nigerian is daft, needs to box at range.

Akanji (NGR) vs O'Neil (IRE)

One sided opening round, IRE outclassing his taller & less mobile opponent. 4-3 IRE
NGR taking a bit of a pasting in the 2nd, looking wobbly at times. 12-5 IRE
Quieter last round as IRE eased off. 15-6 IRE

O'Neill looked very impressive to me but then his opponent wasn't up to much so it's hard to tell.

It's funny watching this, watching a bunch of guys I don't know about at all, and knowing that in a few years some of these guys will be among my favourite professional fighters.
