Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Liam Williams & Sam Noakes vs. Lewis Sylvester + Yarde vs. Nikolic RBR.

Agreed but a bit of a harsh take. That was a British title fight. Big fight on mainstream tv here in the UK. Lockett will have learned his lessons from it and saw his fighter get hurt by the first punch tonight, floored multiple times in round one. Cannot argue with the towel at all.

 

Hamzah ready for the world title shot this year ...the guy is a monster at 160lbs ...and believe me he will be even more dangerous at 168lbs ..

Hamzah will soon be mandatory for the WBC 160lbs title which is being held hostage by Carlo ..

 

Sad to see this tonight. Enjoyed following Williams career but his punch resistance has left him now, he needs to call it a day.

 

What do you base that on? He hasnt shown any signs of greatness and he hasnt fought anybody that fights back. His best win was an already well past it Bradley Skeete. Even then it took him 9 rounds to stop him. C level fighters like Diego Ramirez and Kerman Lejarraga had already finished off a much better version of Skeete in 3 rounds or less

 

I'm not a fan of Sheeraz so I would love to see him thrown in at world level and exposed. He has never been tested against a genuine puncher; whilst Williams can crack, as we saw he was shot to bits and dispatched in a round. If Warren has any interest in building Sheeraz's career then he should build up slowly to a world title shot in a few years; otherwise he could go the way of Anthony Yarde, fluctuating between knocking out no hopers before stepping up to a world title shot he is woefully unprepared for.

 

First off that Bradley fight was quite a while back , and it was clear that Hamzah was struggling to make 154lbs .. I don't even know how he makes 160lbs now lol straight after that fight he moved up.. now Hamzah haters keep using 1 bad performance against him..

The guy is ready for anyone at 160lbs ..anyone.. just watch and see .. his fundamentals are the key ...the jab is the key, the range control is the key . He can even mix it up on the inside .. the 160lbs division he not stacked with talent .. Boxrec now rank Hamzah No.4 in the world just behind Carlo ..

 

I think the 160lbs division is there for Hamzah to get a world title at least .. name them Hamzah has a good chance of beating any of the title holders right now ...I think Frank will get him a shot by end of the year ...

 

I dont hate him, I just dont rate him. He might scoop a belt or two against sub par of semi retired opposition but hes never going to be world class

Jab, range control, mixing it up, fundamentals. All great words but we have never seen any of them in action against a fighter with skill that can fight back and without that we have no way to judge them. I also dont agree. His fundamentals are basic at best. His jab looks great against a stationary opponent, just as it looks great against the bag. Same goes for range control, when most of your opponents are completely past it, semi retired, flat footed plodders then its easy for any youngster to move in and out like he practices on the bag

Im not saying hes terrible, he isnt, hes solid. He just isnt special or world class. Im tired of seeing average promoted as world class, match made against "names" who are years past being capable for the benefit of filling a promoters pockets

 

That's your opinion on him, and I have mine , I guess we will see in the near future who is right ..

That´s just sad.
Williams is a lot better than most give him credit for. But his chin keeps letting him down.
What a shame.

 

Yes,he needs to retire. I have just watched the fight. The way he goes to the ground is not normal. That's a brain that goes not too well, something is not working properly there, he should just stop fighting and go to the doctor praying that there is nothing totally broken.

I perfectly understand why the trainer stopped that fight.
