    Exactly what is the main point of all these tomato cans these great amateurs are fighting on the Matchroom cards?

    Luke Campbell is a world and olympic gold medalist, exactly what is he going to learn by sharing the ring with a moving punching bag?

    Im not saying these guys, should be doing to Rigondeuax, but jesus christ, they've boxed better in the amateurs. I just dont see the point in it.

    Am i alone in my thinking?

    No. It's not as if Campbell is young either.

    Anyone else think those pathetic flurries were interesting? Reminds me of someone (Bunce? Lillis) saying Deontay Wilder does the same when he has his man hurt because he's unsure about his own chin. Wonder if Campbell's a bit fragile. I think his power's fine though.

    Cheating the public viewer as we are watching more and more schoolboy styled boxers in with i can't win or i won't get any fights opposition, theres to much behind the scenes brains, and not enough fighting ability. they can make **** smell sweet, if enough people want to sit down and watch it, the public veiwers being conned.

    Moises is pretty durable and tricky so stopping him in 8th isn't too bad a result.

    Even though Mitchell Smith had a close fight with Moises that went the distance, he did sustain a bad hand injury in the fight and toughed it out till the end.

    Of the two i think Mitchell Smith could well end up going further in the Pro Ranks.

    British olympic winners never seem to do that well in the paid ranks and most of our best fighters over the last 25 years have been the non-olympians like Hamed, Benn, Eubanks, Hatton and Calzaghe.
