Next for purdy

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by ginger warrior, May 19, 2013.

  1. Did this fight put his name on the map

    Does he become a gatekeeper type for prospects from golden boy and
    Others?


    Or does he go back to floating around top 15 IBf fighting no names from Venezuela?


    Or what about domestic battles with Gavin,vassell and brook?


    Because I really don't know,maybe just follow the money

    Purdy is ****, so who cares?. Not even entertaining. What the **** was he doing last night just standing in front of a rare non holding Devon and trash talking instead of throwing punches.?

    Bizarre game plan to me.
     
  3. Yeah agree I don't rate him but he could make for good match room fights with brook or rose/ochieng

    He was obviously just there for the pay cheque,comes in overweight and then doesn't even remotely try and win the fight.

    What a waste of a world title shot.

    So much for an American debut with Showtime.He won't be asked back,that much is for sure.Total failure.

    Tipping that next year he's in Blackpool challenging Brian Rose,thats not bad.Brook,on the other hand,is.I don't think this has done him any harm,could get a Euro shot,might even win it.

    in terms of Boxing ability he showed none(has he even got that much) he showed he doesnt mind getting hit so he will probably get an advert like that doll they advertise on boxnation

    Purdy threw nothing the luck he had last night was DA left had gone.

    He had his one & only chance he left it on the scales it wouldn't of gone down well with showtime.

    Probably up to Light Middle, there's not a lot about for him domestically at Welterweight.

    @danrafaelespn: Being honest, Purdy one of the worst title challengers I've seen. #boxing

    Agreed

    he will move up in weight maybe fight Erick Ochieng for the English belt. or maybe a fight for the vacant British belt when Rose gives it up.
