    If u meet him when the cameras are off you will see what a nice humble guy he is.

    I enjoy watching the showman. Look forward to seeing him again.

    Small is a terrible fighter.

    Am kinda lost a bit......

    Hows El Maachi gonna get a step too with Small ?

    Smalls British and Comm's champ aye. ?

    Is Maachi mandatory for one of these ?

    If he is fair enough, if he aint then why would he ( Small ) take such a fight ?


    Regardless, Smalls ****ing shameful.

    first time i've seen el-maachi but something doesn't stack up , surely he has not had to travel the world because no one will fight him which seemed to be the spin he was putting on things ??? doesn't seem to have settled at his natural weight either ??? surely he'd be awesome at welter which the commentators suggest he could make.... does anyone know if his losses came when giving away weight again like last night ( 1 stone ) ?

    i thought he looked very interesting but difficult to tell at this level and he is 30. George groves couldn't get rid of the same opponent in that style so it shows some pedigree given his size , i hope he get's his chance...

    i agree could be the new choi but i guess that's a tag no fighter wants !!!

    i wish him all the best.

    I know it is very unlikely (like 1% chance of happening), but I would love to see Brook vs El Maachi :yep

    I really do like El Maachi, very entertaining and a great left hook (although he neglects the right a bit too much :yep), plus he seems live a decent guy as well - someone give the lad a chance!

    El Maachi needs to start beating people who are decent before calling British title fighters out. Maybe alot of fighters are worried of him and do not want to fight him but he still has to do it the right way. Hopefully he is not another fighter who does all his talking at low level and behind closed doors.

    :good

    I'll take your word for it as I can't comment on Small on a personal level as I have never met the dude. In the ring and when cameras are on, he does himself absolutely no favours, though. I can only go by what I see of him and, from what I've seen from him over the years, he acts like a silly, silly boy and will never win fans continuing with the circus-act - if you do attempt bravado and showboating in the ring like SRL, Naz, RJJ et al, you have to at least be able to pull it off or you'll just end up looking like a twat. I'd love to have known what he was saying to McDonough in the ring at the time.

    I agree. He has already lost to Thomas McDonagh, who lost to Small. His only decent win out of his 15 fights was against Kevin Conception.

    How anyone can overboard with a win against Spitko, a man he already beat 3 months ago, is beyond me. ITV's went overboard with this boxer and Barker last night.

    Seen how close the scorecard was for his loss against McDonagh though, and his loss against Vassell - could well have been at the end of a 'home-town' decision.

    Plus they weren't going 'overboard' because of the opponent he beat, but the talent he displayed.

    His interview with Bunce suggested that he had indeed been robbed in his points losses as well as getting done by Maloney on the purse for Concepcion

    El Maachi v McDonagh. Make the rematch. If El Maachi wins then he can fight Small.

    Who knows where El Machi would be be right now if he'd had a proper trainer for all these years because he clearly has so much natural talent but has alot of things to be ironed out. Obviously this will take time but it looks like he is in safe hands now.

    I've been following him since he fought Eamon goodbrand who was a boy I know who was 3-0. He was expecting a relatively routine victory I think giving El Machi's record but got totally the opposite and if it wasn't for the fact that the boy has the Heart of lion and an Iron chin, he would have been stopped.

    I would give him a chance against Small at this stage, although I think it would be a poor fight.
