First time I had seen him box last night and was pretty impressed with him tbh, he was composed, kept his shape well, never wasted a punch and overcame an opponent with much more experience both amateur and professional. Vallily at one time was very highly rated at one point but I thought he was made to look very ordinary and the fighter with less experience last night He has only had around 20 fights amateur and pro so how far do you think he can go? If he continues to improve I would see him as at least British champion.
Yes I was impressed with him. I'm not convinced Simon V had a camp or was mentally focused for the fight but Craig certainly was. Like you said he has not had many fights so he should improve greatly. Not the hardest hitting CW but was decent enough. He should certainly be aiming for a British title at least and then see how he progresses.
I listened to an interview with him on Fight Disciples before the fight & he had me convinced just from his self belief...not in a deluded way but a wanting it so bad kind of way. He’s done loads of sparring with Bellew which would have done him good. He’s a big puncher, tough kid, he can definitely win a British. I think you have to be more than a puncher to go further than that but being a local lad i’ll support him all the way.
good fghter - agree british level but maybe just not big enough so some of the cruisers out there good jab, left hook and body shots. A fight with askin would be good but needs a few more first IMO
Tommy mcarthy from ireland would be a good opponent for him -- what has happened to him? Has went quiet recently
Good fighter, he’s solid and can punch. Up against a much bigger man on Saturday but it didn’t faze him. Had to put up with a lot of **** but he kept his focus and got on with the job, he really impressed me. I’d fancy him against Okolie, I don’t think Eddie will be in a rush to make that fight.
Watched the fight last night first time I seen him what impressed me the most was how consistent his power was even in the 8th he was still thumping shots in showing no fatigue. Will keep an eye out for him hes got a very entertaining style
