    Bit odd.
    Looked impressive in destroying Butler.
    Wonder if there's a chance of a rematch, do you think Butler would go for it?

    "Indian bum" who has a very impressive amateur pedigree.

    Also with a good percentage of indians/or of indian descent living in the UK, anmd the fact he's big news over there too like celebrity status I'd say signing him up could end up a very decent business move.

    "This African" who probably produced 1 of the best world title winning performances on these shores in the last few years.

    Your tone is very disrespectful. How many commonwealth games medals have you won? How many times have you been to the olympics? How many world titles have you won?

    Thought not

    LOLOLOL I saw him at the commonwealth games last year and he looked absolutely useless. In case you didnt know.. the commonwealth games is of a shocking poor standard.. it's about 10% better than English ABAs. Singh couldn't even win a commonwealth gold lol and hes the best indian boxer ever! The fact he's celebrity status over there shows you how embrassingly pathetic Indians are at boxing and sport. Welshman Fred Evans is a more successful boxer than him and he's virtually unknown has no fame whatsoever here... that tells you everything

    some people you can't say that last paragraph to cause it doesn't apply to them.. you can pm me if you wanna know the reason

    The standard of boxing at the commonwealth games has gotten a lot worse over the years, you are right it's not good. Australia winning gold medals is probably an indicator!

    He had every physical advantage going over all super flys and flys be interesting to see how good he is moving up the weights.

    Agreed, I was in 2 minds if he was that good or if Butler was that bad on the night.
    Seemed to have no idea how to tackle him.
    If memory serves Butler was heavy favourite as well.

    I honestly believe Butler just had an off-night that night and just couldnt get going. There was something wrong with him. People are raving about Tete but Id want to see a bit more of him before I jump on the bandwagon. Yes he was impresive, but....
    Lets not forget also that size matters - it was like a supermiddleweight against a light middle in there, if you pro-rata the sizes.. He has every physical advantage against a sub-par Butler.

    It cant last. Soon he will have to move up and fight guys his own size. Then we will have a clearer picture of how good he really is.
