    The fireballs as the punches land, yet have no effect on the opponent. Is this a normal saturday fight night or will it be longer? Presume Saunders will be shown by sky so if its only 2 hours they may not show this

    You'd actually like his style I think.

    Good technical boxer, doesnt mind absorbing a punch to give a couple but prefers to box and move, good feet, not as hard a punch some think but enough to cause concern, if you know what I mean.

    I videod him sparring Mattie Hall

    Not too bad, obviously sparring isn't always a great indication but he certainly displayed some good qualities.

    I loved the right hook he lands along the ropes at 0:39, that was beautiful the way he pulled back, landed the shot, and stepped out of there with such fluency. Looks to be most comfortable when he's letting combinations go on the move as the opponent will always find it awkward to throw back in that scenario.

    His defence looks very sketchy though. Getting careless on an awful lot of occasions in a three-minute period isn't great. Leaned in far too much without having his hands up, and squared up an awful lot on the inside.

    The good thing is, and again this may all be invalied as I'm merely going on a sparring session here, whatever flaws he does appear to have from that are all things that can be ironed out with time, it's not like those mistakes are irreparable, just fundamental things really.

    Hopefully he'll get on TV with some regularity, I'd like to write some stuff on him at some point, and that'll be a more apt way to see how good he can be.

    2:20 is epic BTW.:lol:

    seen byrne v reynoso and was good
    had him rocked a few times so has reasonable power
    he also took a craker of a shot from reynoso well
    this should tell us a bit about him hope its on tv

    Haha what was that singing? Do you know any of the lyrics apart from "oh my god" and "nA nA nA nA". :lol:

    Byrne is tough as **** too. Can't see Al Harbi hurting him either

    :lol: :good

    Boxen pipe down, Hall's a lot better than the likes of Scriven and Macauley (your boys best wins)

    He beat Macauley by a round. Arnie has Byrne, Heffron and Gavin. All 3 would **** Al Harbi :deal
