Yes he was. Not that it made any difference in the end, but had Napa been a little better at closing the ring of I can imagine the ref would have stopped him from implementing his gameplan inside. All ifs and buts, but it was a poor showing from this horrible Euro ref. I agree, down a weight. He looked too slow on his feet tonight. He really does not have the dimensions for this weight, which is why his performance to win the title was one of the best of 2008 for my money.
Agree with every bit of that, Napa can certainly establish himself as the best British Super-Flyweight out there. Yet there would still be a few decent meaningful fights with the likes of Haskins, Booth again, Bell, Broadhurst.
Missed the fight tonight. Dapa should have moved down after the Euro title win. He wasn't going to do much at the weight after it imo.
Olubamiwo has better skills than i thought. not just a musclebound slugger. have to wonder what the stamina is like though. guys that muscled generally dont have great stamina.
