In his 5th pro fight. Thought he showed a great engine over the 12 for a 4 fight pro How far can the Barry boy go. ?
An impressive win. Charlie Edwards had already beaten Norman though. Hopefully we'll see those two square off at some point. They might throw Patel in with one of them too considering his mouth will sell a fight.
Considering he's wsb experience he could have probably won a British title in he's first fight. He has the skills to go all all the way unbeleiveable boxer. Only time will tell if he has the toughness though .
He's been in with live bodies from the start though. He took a lot of shots last night. Didn't look bothered at all
He's been in with live bodies in the wsb for the last 4 years. He does take more shots than he needs too, he got stopped by getting to marked up in one of he's wsb fights, i think he needs to become more defensively aware as he has the talent to completely shut out fighters
Don't agree with that. Edwards has took to the pro's like a duck to water... which having seen him as an amateur, was always going to happen. He would be far from easy pickings for Selby.
Edwards, who has sparred with Selby on numerous occasions in the past, gave Behind the Gloves his reasoning on not taking the fight, saying financially the fight would make more money in the future. ‘I have no problem of fighting [Andrew] Selby I have sparred thousands of rounds with him and only lost to him by 17-14 back when I was 19/20,’ Edwards told Oun Abbas Hussain from Behind the Gloves. ‘It’s all about getting the most money out of this game, flyweights don’t earn as much as others. Why would I fight him for 15k when in a few years it could be 100k plus? ‘Just a no brainer really. People can call me what they want as a fighter, I would fight him tomorrow but my management team and promotion Matchroom Sport Eddie Hearn choose my path and their job is to earn me as much money as I can and I will listen to them because they know best!’
Would be a ******* there both great to watch I think Selby would be favourite though. If you watch his fight Saturday it was very impressive
