    See, yes, McDermott would be a head-turner for this stage of his development or even next year. That would be a worthwhile test from which he could actually learn.

    McPhilbin will teach him that sometimes you run into pain in the ass fouling spoilers. That could just as easily be put into an email. :lol:

    Mcphilbin from a spectacle point of view isn't great. I'd just keep getting Hughie out regularly at this point and if he knocks people out all the better.

    A Spoiler but capable fighter who has the guts to get in there.

    Not a Bum.

    He's just turned pro this year, is 18 years old and has only had 7 fights.

    Don't see the problem with this fight whatsoever. At this stage, there wanting him to gain experience and continue to grow as a pro. Mcphilbin is a notorious spoiler, yeah he's fought at cruiserweight but he will literally just look to turn up and spoil. Hughie will face people later on in his career who will perhaps look to spoil for a few rounds, make things rough etc so it does make sense for his development.

    People need a reality check and be realistic, he's only a teenager that's only just stepped up to the big ranks this year.

    Really, bit running before you can walk that, Thompson just beaten David Price twice.

    You do realise he's declared he will be the youngest world champion ever? Has called out Tony Thompson? etc etc.

    My pessimism and criticism is entirely related to his behaviour.

    And have you constantly bashed Frampton for saying he is going to be the best in his division?

    He's taking the right steps towards doing so? Kiko was the next step up, but now he's joined BoxNation his career will stagnate. If he's still fighting nobodies and making those sorts of claims in the next year of course I'll criticise him.

    No, he is not.

    Look up the record of Wilder's opponents and compare.

    Baby Huey has had eight fights. Add up his opponents' losses and they have lost 153 total fights.

    Deontay Wilder has had 28 fights. Add up his opponents' losses and they have lost .... exactly 153 total fights.

    Not even close.

    This forum is definately becoming more painful!

    He wants to be youngest ever world champion so just get the fight on with Wlad no point in messing about! Is that what people want....ridiculous some of the comments on here.
