    :-( Really liked Luis thought he would take Hernandez to a UD. Read he was knockdown late as well. Failed to make his money after Berto.

    After paying his trainers, manager, and sparring partners, Orlando will have earned just enough for the plane journey home:-(

    Cheers Gaz.

    I've said for a long time that Cleverly would benefit from being outboxed while he tried to have a macho-man tear up. Shame Bellew wasn't the one to do it. Clev needs to realise that the tough guy act will work at domestic level but he'll look an absolute tit against any decent boxer.

    If ever a boxer needed a loss to point him in the right direction, it's Nathan Cleverly.

    He isn't. That was just a stylistic mismatch.

    He's a good fighter, but Berto also isn't some beast for swallowing him up. Styles make fights.

    One thing Berto has going for him is speed (along with athleticism, and decent pop)

    Hernandez is ridiculously slow.

    That one was over before it started, just due to their styles/attributes. That doesn't mean Hernandez is **** though. Nor does it mean Berto is hot **** for beating him. It's just down to styles.

    Yeah, Collazo was a very good fighter back in the day, he could compete with anyone at world level. Hes obviously past his best now.

    Mind you Hernandaz isnt as bad as his showing against Berto would have ypu believe. Hes a decent fringe level contender.

    That's what inactivity can do to you, sadly. Will be a struggle for him to get back into the rankings if this loss is anything to go by. Knowing Golden Boy they will either throw him in with an elite prospect or they will match him against cans and then throw him to the wolves, either way he could probably do with being at a smaller promoter who would care for him more.

    Can't claim to know too much about him never watched him outside the Berto fight where he got starched pretty quickly and comfortably but I'm sure you're right :blurp.

    Debating to go a bed or not, but after tonight's action, I think I'm ready for some more. Hyped to the ****ing hilt.

    What time does Hopkins - Dawson start UK time lads?

    Yeah very inactive fighter seemed to get offered quite a few fights as well that he turned down if I remember right. One off the top of my head was Aydin a very winnable fight but he didn't want to travel, Cintron was another I think again this is going back a few years.

    Hopefully if Golden boy do anything with him it will be in with a prospect maybe he can get himself back up there within a few fight but a few fights for Luis could take a few years.
