I really enjoyed last nights second Box Academy show. The concept is pretty good, and despite an unfortunate start (it almost appeared cursed with the cancellations when first announced), and a decidely average first show, the second show last night was a big improvement. I liked the mixture of pundits, and was genuinely surprised by how good Billy Joe Saunders was as a pundit; I thought he was a natural and made some very insightful comments. Looking forward to the next one; Boxnation definitely seem to be improving. Anyone else think it was an improvement?! :huh
Butler is a tremendous talent and will win the British Title in his next fight, I go to Arnie's a lot to watch the lads train the stuff they work on are foot work, angles and straight punches if you are ever passing Arnie's call in and have a look at the training it really is special, Ronnie Heffron is improving every day look forward to watching him next week when Ronnie and Matt Hall fight on the Hay -chisora bill :good
I enjoyed the main event, still thought the undercard went forever without being entertaining. Agree that Saunders showed some potential. Couldn't watch Bell/Buglioni segments, thought they were cringeworthy. Like the basic idea although they don't seem to be sure exactly what they want the concept to be
I think it is a brilliant concept. I mean we get to see the development of the good quality fighters we have at our talent. Mitchell Smith looks like a very good prospect at 19 in his second fight which he could of maybe stopped the geezer. Baker looks good but i think he could snap his jab more and i personally thought sexton nicked the fight and it defiantly was not a knockdown. It defiantly was not 6 rounds worthy but both men fought excellent
