:respect Career best performance. He is in top form. Make no mistake; Gumer Carrasco was no bum (I've known of him for a while) and he got dismantled and made to look two classes below. I'd like him in a rematch with Lynes, and over pretty much the balance of the domestic crop. Probably even Fun Time. He's the #2 UK welterweight after Brook. :good
I agree IB, Purdy is strong and punches well. Still developing but i think he had a bad night against Lynes. Got a little caught up in the puncher mindset but i think a rematch he'd be more thoughtful and perform better. Lynes was also very good that night.. Good solid win, 10 days notice and he took the chance and it paid off..
No slight on Purdy, but if he's got any ambition of doing anything then walking through that no mark is a given, 10 days notice or not.
Please, regale me with the number of times you've previously seen Gumer Carrasco to have such an informed expert opinion.
Mate you're making yourself look like a bit of a dick. I haven't seen this lad fight so I'm not commenting on that, but IB is a yank. He is not some Brit bumming Purdy due to bias, he is an American who follows boxing to such an extent that he genuinely gives a **** about fights all over the world. To dismiss what he's saying as him "sucking dick" as if he gives a **** about Purdy is stupid.
Aye, and as much as Purdy made it look otherwise, Gumer CAN hit. His opposition hasn't been great but the KO record wasn't padded to the point of deception.
You're the one who needs to stop sucking dick now. I don't doubt IB know his ****, but that Argie has fought absolutely nobody. If Purdy has any ambition whatsoever then beating guys of that level is a given.
Yep, i know little about Gumer and havent looked at his record yet TBH. But i could hear the thudding sounds when his shots landed.. That's always a dead giveaway that someone can bang a bit:deal Good win for Purdy.. A bit of a plodder at times but has a lot of heart, a good dig and a granite chin by the look of it. Look forward to his next fight :good
Solid win for Purdy. Said earlier I'd fancy him to take Witter now, but Lynes rematch should be first on the agenda.
