  1. It's actually only his 7th fight and to compare, Oganov was fighting for the 23rd time when he beat this guy. I'm pretty impressed myself.

    Awful post. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

    I disagree. The guy's only been stopped once by Victor Oganov, and look at the names he's taken the distance - Sergey Tatevosyan, David Gogiya, Karoly Balzsay, Cristian Sanavia, been 12 with a cople of other undefeated guys. A legit super-middle aswell, and guarenteed rounds in the bag for Groves.

    At least a winning record. Someone with SOME domestic class maybe. He could be going for the English title.

    Huge amateur pedigree. We let guys progress too slow.

    My words are a bit harsh but I'm frustrated from so many bad fights.

    I want to see competative bouts.

    What we do to the amateurs is bad. Sure they need to learn the pro game BUT guys like DeGale are used to fighting elite fighters non stop. Not journeyman after journeyman. I think it possibly makes them regress.

    Got to step them up quicker like MMA. Sink or swim. If they sink, it's not the end of their career. If they swim then we know we got genuine talent and we are basing our opinions on something real.
