    Didn't do much of anything for a lot of the fight, fought much better a year ago.

    Yep, someone mentioned he looked over trained and I agree

    He looked better in the second fight because Huck was only on 70% in that fight.

    He looked very sluggish, sloppy and just off overall really. Could be due to being out of the ring for a year, could be over trained as he's had a long camp, could be that all the years of hard sparring have caught up to him a bit

    Just seen him on boxing hour very smart personable lad.No excuses more or less said realised it was not going to be his night...kept his powder dry for another shot with another belt.Got his head very firmly screwed on right.

    Yes,he's easy to like.Interesting lad.Ive always thought he's proud of his British background and wondered why he's not fought more here.Says the money is in Germany.Does he actually live in London?

    Horrible performance. It was like he learned nothing from the first two.

    Huck, on the other hand, surprisingly improved a lot from II.

    As I said he did say he fought the wrong fight too technical.....and he was surprised how strong Huck was.he said he took one shot on the arms which hurt so much he decide he didn't want to take one like that on the head!!!!Wants to put aside money for retirement and still be able to count it.......smart very honest lad.

    Not seen the fight yet but he came across very well on Bunce tonight. Very honest about his performance and the business. Hope he does win a world title, seems like he has had a long hard journey so he deserves every he gets

    C+ boxer, B flat fighter.

    Not the strongest champ ever, but not quite 'paper' either.

    He isn't terribly fast and is sloppy even now after gradually making some improvements from the fundamental lacking mess he used to be, and his power is moderate to very good at best - not devastating...but his intangibles have kept him in the mix.

    There is such a thing as overtrained?
