Got pissed off with him not fighting thaxton, would've liked to see him become British Champ. But am a massive fan think he's got great talent, i met him at the Junior ABA finals this year in sheffield, just after the Barrera fight, he's a great guy, had time for everybody there, willing to talk about barrera fight for about 5 mins with a couple of us, even though people were trying to drag him away. compared to some of the other fighters ive met, he's a class act
I used to like him, but I went right off him. He started to believe his own hype. He started out quite humble, then he was dropped against Gomez and came out with all this 'easy fight, never got out of first gear' bull**** and I realised the lad is actually a bit of a tosser. Since then he's just been creeping around the scene trying to pick off easy fights.
I wanted to see him KO'd badly from around about the Willie Limond fight up to the Prescott fight due to the ridiculous hype he was getting e.g. commercials on TV putting his name next to Muhammed Ali, Tiger Woods, etc This was while he was still being matched with journeymen AND getting KD / rocked by guys with no real power. Khan wasn't helping things with the naive stuff he was saying either. After his brutal KO, I warmed to him a bit more and hoped the hype would die down but then he goes and comes out with the stupid **** he said after the Barrera fight, show some ****ing respect Amir, you beat an ATG with a clash of heads and a bad cut. I'll try to support the guy but he makes it very very hard to do it and I don't even think he realises this.
I like him. Decent prospect, exciting fights a strong possibility with his shite punch resistance, and he's very professional in his approach. He comes out with a few ridiculous comments now and again, but he's young, and he's in a profession where you need to big yourself up a bit.
Hatton fans got what they deserve. Hatton Fans boo there own countryman an up coming prospect and Hatton gets destroyed in 2 rounds.
I like to see all the British fighters do well. He needed the knockout and to get to America with Roach. I hope he does well against Kotelnik.
well hes moved up to fight at lww cos he knows he would get spangled by most of the current lw champions.he lied on tv the toher week when he said he offerd to fight both thaxton/murray. but i will admit he is exciting to watch,and he has imporved under roach for the better.
british people underrate thier good fighters like lennox, Hamed, and Khan. But they overrate thier average fighters like Bruno, Hatton, Enzo, etc.
No Jokes about Scotsmen and tight pockets from me! But its true, to have him on ppv at this moment is a disgrace, but i blame sky rather than him for this. I'll still buy them, cos his fights are damn right entertaining!
