Agree. Before getting too excited about KG just yet, people need to have a good think about what Quigg or especially Frampton would have done to Jazza last night.....cut him to ribbons.... KG may yet develop into a threat to Quigg and Frampton, but based on what I saw last night, he is not there yet.....
Does anyone think Jazza needs to leave Hatton? He's with a promotor who's had no TV deal for a while, so got very little profile. Been fighting mostly 6 and 8 rounders, and his last fight before Kid Galahad was a 4 rounder squeezed on as an after fight. Hardly the best preparation. He clearly has the talent, but his lack of rounds against decent opponents cost him!
Liverpool the capital of UK boxing atsch Most deluded people in the country Apparently BETFRED makes more money on Liverpool fans backing Liverpool to win the league than any other football bet
That was an enjoyable fight and good to see on C5, although i'm not sure i'm completely onboard the Kid Galahad hype train; he's a level above Dickens but not sure how far he can go. His tendancy to drop his hands could be his undoing when he steps up, Dickens couldn't do more than wing in wild swings but a better opponent could really expose him...
Indeed. Yes he is good, tricky, slippery awkward etc....but history has shown time and time again that guys with very "unconventional" styles tend to fail at the highest level against more conventional fighters... Eg Barrera v Naz......McCallum v herrol Graham.... Now he is not THAT unconventional himself, so he could be the exception, but I would need to see more of him before I'm fully convinced...
Won the WBA interim super featherweight title yesterday at an IBA Pro Event in Istanbul. Will be elevated to full champ once Roach rematches Tank. This content is protected
Great that he has got a title, may be a cliche but in my best Smithy voice 'boxing turned his life around'. Good fighter Jazza game and a high volume puncher a real TV fighter.
Always been underrated by many and gone under the radar. Looked like he was on his way out a couple of years ago.
