Enzo was shocking....didn't throw a punch from the opening bell. Lebedev's power is clearly nothing special, he was landing flush again and again and Enzo was only badly hurt after a barrage. Bruce Scott and Lee Swaby had more impact with single shots. Brook was okay, still far from convinced and don't think his chin or power will cut it at the higher level.
Thought Brook was great on the night but watchin that again he was pure class. His head movement is so subtle the way he can stand right in front of an opponent make them miss and counter with power is world class imo especially against a long armed sp like lomax. The kids destined for great things in a very tuff weight div.
Disagree, he leans his head back and so is off balance at times when on the back foot and is too upright. He has made improvements, but his defence was pretty poor in many earlier fights and when he was dropped by a nobody it was exactly due to that lean back style, with feet too close together. His footwork has improved and he seems to be hitting harder too, but look at his record and he has not fought a single person who can punch their way out of a wet paper bag, but he has been down and he has left himself wide open to counters fight after fight. I think he will be stopped before World Level, but hopefully I'm wrong and he is moving in the right direction.
we'll have to agree to disagree there mate but have to say i think your way off. His balance is one of his best attributes. And any fighter fighter can be put down it's how he reacts to it that counts. Time will prove one of us wrong.
Enzo was terrible. In that 3rd round when he was hurt it seemed he didnt even have the confidence to throw punches and was almost just up against the ropes standing static and just wanted Lededev to unload and stop him so he could just get the fight over with. His heart dosent seem to be in it anymore.
Saw the Enzo fight the other day. Sad. Brook looked so relaxed and didn't rush in to try and stop the fight, the best I've seen him and he's only young so a damn good prospect.
