    He boxed well, but without power he'll struggle at a higher level. Only 21 though, to be fair.

    I think once he properly grows in to the light heavy division his power will improve. he was under the weight wasnt he? looks like he could put some more muscle on.

    I thought he performed pretty well. not sure why he decided to fight the first part of the fight in a style that was always gonna suit oakey, which meant he came out just about even over the first 7 or so rounds. Had he fought at range as he did in the later rounds, he'd of got a near complete shut out.

    Oakey is definitely past his best now. the old engine just isnt there.

    They should have a 'fans commentary' like they do for the football where they get 2 fanatics commentating on the fight.

    I have never been impressed with Cleverly, he has no power and is wide open, the fight was closer then the scores make it out to be, Dean francis would KO him.

    Agreed, Francis would stop him. As you say his defence is poor and he drops his hands too much.
