Hands and motivation did it for Hamed. He lit up the British boxing scene like no other. Sensational to watch live, always exciting and hilarious in equal measure. It would have been great if he had recovered from his loss to Barrera. It was not a humiliating loss. Barrera was just unstoppable that night; he would have beaten anyone.
pretty sure this interview is years old and has just been dug up from somewhere , iv watched old fights on youtube where they are both sat next to each other chatting away like old friends after meeting each other in the ring .
Sad end to a great fighter. When the hungers gone it's best to stay well clear of the ring. No idea why so many here are resorting to insulting him when he brought so many entertaining fights. He was a unique talent that's for sure.
