    i think its such a shame when you see boxers with raw natural talent chucking it down the drain.

    he won the british boxing like a clown with his hands low and trying to knock people out with one punch.

    he looked like a bad naz impressionist, its frightening to think how good he could have been if he boxed the right way with his speed power and skills.

    but the lads head isnt right and he has chucked it away, proper waste of talent!

    Nah..... just don't see it. He sucked.

    He's lucky he didn't run into a Rhodes or a Moore, would have been an ugly night for Anthony and Uncle Osama.

    you cant deny he had natural talent, good speed good power and technically good.

    just because he boxed like an idiot and nobody likes him does not mean he didnt have talent.

    achieved as much as all the names mentioned and he boxed like a ******!

    I sat ringside while this **** bored me to bits for 6 rounds. I could get plenty of lads out of South London gyms with good handspeed. I don't see the good technical side of his game nor the power tbh. Hall went all out when he got cut and left himself exposed.

    The only time he came close to doing it for me was against Matt Hall, The flurries and combination punches he put together were incredible. I really thought he'd go onto world level after that.

    From 5.39 onwards is world class stuff, Hall didnt have a clue

    Didn't he give Degale trouble in sparring and Degale's team sent Small home? Something like that anyway.
