    ye i wouldnt dwell on it, its not a career breaker so i'd just forget about it and move on, tony hill should be a winnable fight for you and help move you towards a british title shot imo! :good

    All this bull**** about facing a southpaw, getting the rounds in etc holds little weight. It holds some weight as its genuine professional fighting experience but these things can be learnt in the gym with hard sparring. This is proven in K1 and MMA. In boxing, its bull**** so a promoter can create a ticketseller and protect his assest. The other week, listening to Cleverly talk about how good it is to get rounds in was a joke.

    Boxing for 10 rounds against a fighter who has no interest in engaging is useless for all involved other than their bank balance.

    Can young pro's have too many fights?

    No; Tony Collins being the exception too prove the rule...

    But Collins was a victim of a silly rule, where he could only fight four rounders, when he needed to step up.

    Sparring with 16oz gloves and headguard is just not the same.

    Would need a fighter to box at his natural weight if he's out every week, those with a walking round weight of say 10st4lb but get down to around s/feather, to not get very weak continualy weight watching, they would need to be at lightweight, what would that do to the ratings system?

    Keep going fella, try and match yourself with journeyman that have winning records so that your going in against guys that actually want it rather than just turn up.


    If you go to boxrec you can see a guy like Malik Scott or David Rodriquez both american heavyweights and both have padded records which are embarrassing. :-(

    I think they can have too many. You run the risk of going into fights mentally or physically under prepared as the fights are no longer a "big deal" to the fighter.. You cant be at your peak several times per years, you therefore run the risk of hurting your market value in this day and age.

    If you are fighting nearly every week or so they you are probably just spending your time in the gym trying to get yourself phsyically ready for the upcoming fight and not spending the time developing your long term athletic development or skills.
