I'm disappointed in Emmanuel 'Game Boy' Tagoe. No urgency to knock his opponent down, too many showboating, Asamoah Gyan's playing in the PA system...no seriousness to win this, maybe!!!

Emmanuel Game Boy Tagoe took money from a fan and put it in his pants, on live TV. GHOne and Supersport.
😂 😂 😂
Hmm, Game Boy Tagoe didn't impress me that much in the boxing ring last night. Want to see him against Bastie to defend the title. After all whoever wins still keeps the belt in Ghana.

It appears Emmanuel Tagoe ( game boy) is a bit rusty, he should drop the killer punch to end this bout but it is not coming

Life is not fair, so Game Boy has a world title and Bukom Banku has none? 😳 no wonder Bukom Banku has quitted boxing.
