    Yes he a good fighter but the likes of Bellew and Cleverly destroy him

    Yeah, true Billy - at the moment. Compared to Bellew and Clev he is a novice though. He has time on his side and whilst he's not on their level right now, he will be growing with every fight.

    I've watched him box since about half way through his am career including 2 wins against George Groves with a first round KO in the ABA finals!!! and, whilst the pro game is a different animal, it was clear the boy had something special. With a bit of dedication and hard work, he could go as far as he wants to go imo. :good

    your right i dont know him but seen enough of his fights to have an opinion on him an to me he seems to arrogant against poor opponents when he's beat decent fighters an won something be as arrogant as you want but right now am not a fan of his

    Not in his prime is an understatement. As I said, one fight in 4 years and that was a KO loss, fighting above his usual weight against young hungry fighter who has been fighting quite regulary in the lead up to the bout? And your surprised he got spanked out?

    Very surprised. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't have predicted a KO win before the fight. Its a good win. You can slag off any win:

    Hatton v Tszyu: Tszyu was past it, inactive, fighting in Ricky's backyard, dodgy ref

    Froch v Bute: Bute was unproven, hype job, dodgy chin shown by Andrade

    Lewis v Vitali: Lewis was getting dominated, freak injury stopped fight, he ducked him which proved he knew Vitali is better

    All four fights mentioned are good wins though.

    Mitchell Smith looks very talented, as does Yafai.

    I would have seen some decent odds, 100%

    Those fights mentioned don't compare to this one.

    I would say its more like Brodie v Crolla
