Olympics 2012 Boxing Results: Brazil vs Japan in Middleweight Final, Ogogo Settles For Bronze

The middleweight gold medal match is set for tomorrow in London. Here are the semifinal results.

Esquiva Falcao (Brazil) def. Anthony Ogogo (Great Britain), 16-9: Ogogo's run ends here, as Falcao just had too much speed, too much power, and too much in-ring class for him, but it was quite a run indeed. Even if you disagree with Ogogo having gotten through to this point, there's no arguing that he gave substantial effort every fight, and gave everyone a stern test -- until now. No shame in losing to Falcao, who has been terrific all the way.

Ryoto Murata (Japan) def. Abbos Atoev (Uzbekistan), 13-12: Good. Atoev had no business being here. The fight started really slow, but did pick up in the last round and a half or so. The difference wound up being a warning against Atoev, giving Murata two points, but Murata probably got the shaft by a point at least in the first round anyway, which Atoev won 4-1.
