i bet 99% of the things people say on this site they wouldnt say to (insert boxer name here) face. I would tell him i was dissapointed though because i supported him and thought he could of given a better account of himself. If he hit me for giving honest opinion then thats on him.
You see? Don't you feel better now that you've expressed your feelings in a mature and polite manner?
It would be interesting to hear how he felt about his career when he was struggling with his form for so long. Most would have packed it in a long time ago.
ryans a top lad and to say he fought like a ***** is a bit disrespectfull to say the least, he just came up against somebody who was alot better than he was, theres no shame in that, thats life, boxings not like football when you can keep running and running and try to get back into the match, in boxing when your up against somebody who is on another level to you they can sometimes just shut you down and completley negate anything you try and do, ive had it many times in sparring and it looks like im not trying but ive just been a step behind, thats what happened to ryan, he gave his all he was just a step behind imo:good
Just to point out Slip it's not Dave that's posting as Coldwell Boxing on here. I represent part of his media team. Thanks :good
