Freddy Roach:Craig McEwan could beat Pavlik.

not even close. pavlik would knick him out handedly

 

What happened to Macklin/Pirog? Is that off for good?

 

Seems like it :think

Think he might have dodged a bullet there though :yep

It's a serious problem with promoters in Europe - they are too reluctant to match prospects against each other, in the US there is sufficient depth to keep fighters apart but still progressing, too often here a fight doesn't get made that is an easy sell, one of them goes on and gets chinned in a world title fight and the other loses to someone he shouldn't because of a lack of motivation.

The better solution would be to stick them in there, the winner advances, the loser gets back in line. Both are better off, the winner has probably had a hard fight and a learning curve, the loser misses the possibility of a real hiding off a proven world class opponent, and can also learn from the loss and come back stronger rather than being effectively ruined.

I'm sure you know this already, I'm just having a rant :good

 

My sister could beat Pavlik

 

never seen this guy fight

 

Ugly contest maybe. I'm sure it runs deep in your family.

 

Pavlik can be beaten at that weight (Golovkin would school him imo and would end up stopping him) but McEwan has not anywhere near the skill to do it. I think Roach knows this too but isn't it his job to say this stuff? Hype up his fighter and that malarkey. It's his job.

McEwan should fight Andy Lee next month. Where his flaws will be exposed :yep

 

Freddy talks a lot of **** and hypes up his own boxers. He is associated with making extravagant claims. Anything he says about his own boxers must be taken with a large grain of salt. Every single one of his boxers are "future world champions"? You're hyping up someone who doesn't deserve it. Let's see how McEwan fights against someone who is at Euro level and we shall talk again. He knows plenty about boxing and he knows that you have to hype people up (even if you don't believe it). Its part if the business.

 

What happened Freddy,you used to be so quiet...I liked you better like that

 

Andy lee beat craig mcewan every time they fought in the amateurs. John duddy and craig fought once and duddy beat him also.

 

Huh? :huh

Belghecham is not quite Euro level but still ahead of anyone he McEwan has ever beaten, someone like Zbik, Oral or Prozka would be a decent step up for him.

 

in the pros Lee and Vera fought once.... So did McEwan and Vera. Who came out better off???

 

That will be the only thing in the pros mcewan does better than andy.Mcewan doesnt have the power to hurt andy and most definitely doesnt have the skills to out box him.
