3 each, he needs to smash that Brazilian in the next round.

Ogogo, go-go-go.

Firestar_3x · 10 Aug 2012 at 15:23

He fell apart at the end of that round.

Yep not a good round for him...hopefully he will pull it back in this round.

Yas786 · 10 Aug 2012 at 15:25

Looks like hes in a bit of trouble...been knocked down a couple of times now.

mollymoo · 10 Aug 2012 at 15:25

I think hes had it.

Firestar_3x · 10 Aug 2012 at 15:25

He's had it now

Brazilian is brutal, hopefully he runs out of steam in a second.

Yas786 · 10 Aug 2012 at 15:29

Looks like the Brazilian was too strong for him, think thats Ogogo done for.

Yep hes out, well done for getting to the semi Ogogo....had a good run.

Bronze for Ogogo?

Yep he could bag a bronze which is better than nothing, depends on who he fights for the bronze.

He will get bronze. Olympic/amateur boxing rules state that a losing boxer cannot fight again within a certain number of days. Given the confines of the Olympic schedule this isn't possible, so both losing boxers from the semi-finals get bronze.

Anthony Joshua super heavyweight is guaranteed at least a bronze medal. He's from finchley so I wonder if there'll be a bus top parade for him? It's my town so I hope there is. I can go and see it

Great job from Evans against the first seed and world number one. Another boxing final and possibility of gold!!

Anthony Joshua just about to start on BBC1.

Merlin5 · 10 Aug 2012 at 23:04

Anthony Joshua on now.

Skeeter · 10 Aug 2012 at 23:04

Whats the conversion rate for medals for us? 7 men and 3 women getting 5 medals? Gotta be just behind cycling I think for highest percentage of medals from the number of entrants?

Lets see what Joshua can get...
