    I thought he looked a bit crude and lacking technique. However that is something that can be worked on and will hopefully improve the more experience he gets.
    The thing which concerned me most about him was his post fight interview. The fight barely lasted a couple of minutes, yet by the time he got to be interviewed he was still puffing and panting and out of breath.
    I think he needs to spend a little less time on working on his physique and more on his fitness and stamina.

    Best of luck to him though, he seems a nice enough chap and can add some excitement to the domestic scene.

    Belshaw was taking a defeat before he entered the ring... I think a latviabum would have given Larry a better scrap

    The way he dropped for the second time was more... "don't hit me anymore I might get some bruising" rather than "where am I"... I was really dissappointed with this fight, thought it could have been a decent match up.

    Gassing against Paret cost him his unbeaten record as well - was spent after 3 rounds.

    Just watched the fight on youtube- he "looked good"??? he looked absolutely horrible, Belshaw was pathetic, he was not interested. I don't like disrespecting fighters but Belshaw had no interset or intentions of trying to win that fight. I would be mortified if I ever put in a performance like that, he got caught flush once then raised the white flag.
