    Good point. Good performance against Brook too, despite Brook's lack of preparation.

    Back in the 90's Winky Wright came and had three fights on the trot here and were all good fights,, One was against Adrian Carew Dodson, in a fight before hand I thought Dodson had a great chance of winning, so did he too, think he was over confident, Wright really beat him, and with ease too. in fact totally annihilated him (from what I remember)

    has to be bud crawford for me .... before the burns fight we had questions of how good was he what level can he get to etc....

    almost won fighter of the year last year. So from not sure of his level to being a genuine top 10 p4p'er is hella impressive

    Crawford or TT.

    I'm favouring TT due to his post-fight interview after the second fight. :D

    Crawford and Kovalev. Both top class and levels above their opponents.

    The Kovalev camp apparently couldn't believe there luck that Cleverlys team took the fight.

    In recent years Kovalev.. I hadn't seen too much of him beforehand but knew he'd put it on Clev, but couldn't believe what I was seeing, he dismantled him.

    Hindsight is a good thing.

    Should be an option for Timothy Bradley.

    I went with Crawford but shout out to Jose A Gonzalez who looked sensational against Burns until he was told to retire.

    I was at the fight he wasn't "Told" to retire his corner were fuming with him for quitting, He gassed after trying to take Ricky out in round 7 Ricky caught him with a cracking shot that dipped his knees and was coming back into it in round 8 when Gonzalez quit but he did impress me but I went with Terence he barely broke a sweat in that fight and even when he wasn't working he didn't let Ricky work.

    Wasn't really that good of a performance, did the bare minimum to beat Witter. I don't think too many would have predicted Bradley becoming a P4P fighter after viewing that fight.
