I've only watched a couple of Farrell's fights but from what I've seen he's got good lateral movement & speed but he does look like he gets caught a bit too much. I can't help feeling he's being chucked in as recovery fodder for Davies to get back to winning ways. I'd love him to shock Davies though.
Davis was badly exposed by Taylor and you would have thought that instead of getting back on the horse that they would try and address some fundamentals first? I have heard Fast Eddie bigging up Farrell but I pretty sure that he fancies Davis to overpower him .
He's doing what he did to Allen and throwing him to the dogs in order push another fighter (Davies). I'm not comparing Farrell to Allen level wise but Allen was thrown to Whyte & Ortiz. I think this is too early for him and he needs a few more fights.
