I wish all fighters that were disappointed with their subpar last showings responded to it like Fa did. This content is protected
Fa looked great showing speed, power, fluidity. The bad thing is his opponent was a complete no-effort. Gimbatov looked more impressive against Dryuchin but that's because Dryuchin made it a fight whereas Latham was just a heavy bag with a pulse.
can you imagine if we had the Mercer/Morrison referee for this one?! He would have stood there waiting until Latham collapsed and let Fa demolish him to that point on probably.
Fred Latham reminds me a lot of Audley Harrison. Wants to fight at a slow pace and play chess, but will get stopped if you step inside and starting firing big shots on him immediately. I was just watching Wilder and Haye smash him up and this reminds me of that.
That's an interesting observation. Never twigged to that on Audley but on reflection it makes a lot of sense.
Damn. The Kiwis have got another good one. Built like a block of flats but far less accommodating. Good effort by the ref, btw. If he wasn't right on the job, that could have been catastrophic.
