Hamzah Sheeraz is a hype job. Why was he being hyped as something he clearly isn't?

Hamzah will be back knocking fighters out at 168lbs .. write him off all you want .. he just at the wrong weight now ..

 

Or maybe Adames is good and experienced? I mentioned that before the fight and idiots like @Scotty Cork tried to discredit him. Probably expected hamzah to run through him.

 

Apparently he broke his hand early on in the fight, he's young.

I was one of the ones hyping him up, very fair to say he dissapointed on Saturday. He will develop.

 

Yes, he was over hyped. Anyone with a keen eye could see through it. Boils himself down to 160 and just doesn't have what it takes to be elite at the moment. There was nothing I saw of him (and his style) that showed me that he was either technically gifted or a power puncher. Footwork, no. Punch selection, no. Movement, no. Power, not really (avg at best). Heart & tenacity, no - Saturday showed he doesn't. Defense, okish. Volume/output, no. Ring IQ, AVG at best.. Tbh, I don't hate him or anything, he's a prospect and he just needs better management - i.e., more time in the ring at more rungs of the skill ladder. Hopefully he can do that with more active mgmt and better coaching and become a good fighter. Best of luck.

I personally feel there aren't enough promoters/managers - having just 2 main promoters this side of the pond means that prospects don't get the time they need to build their skills - no matter the sparring. I love when fighters get thrown in the deep end but it doesn't always work.

 

I genuinely can't understand how you score that fight a draw. It 100% a robbery. There was nothing coming from Sheeraz - a nice uppercut is all I remember (which was nicely placed and had some power behind it).

 

Pretty obvious why, isn't it?

 

Went 12 rounds, that takes stamina
Fought with a broken hard, that shows a bit of heart

Yeah he should have lost definitely but your posts are well over the top

 

I think that's a good point - lots of people seem to have forgotten that Adames is a quality operator.

 

Yep. Some embarrassing posts all round in this thread. Sheeraz looked great tonight and handled Berlanga in a far more emphatic manner than Canelo did.

 

He definitely looked great tonight. That doesn't change the fact that he sucked against Adames and should've lost.

 

I know he lost against Adames. The point I was making was that the OTT writing off of the fighter as a “hype job” was a complete embarrassment. Happens so often here.

 

Let's run the Adames fight back so all the critics can STFU
