I think it was a good decision from him to move up. Looks like he's pretty solid at the weight. About the bodyshot, it seems like it's making a comeback in British boxing in General. I've seen many prospects and contenders use it to good effect in the last couple of years. Nothing to do with some Central Asian future Hall of Famer.
i see where you are going here , you obviously think he beats nobody . well time will tell , he is a bloody good boxer who was thrown in with a lot of great fighters at 160 , ok golovkin totally dominated him but golovkin dominates everyone so there is no disrespect in that defeat . i think he at least deserves a few shots to see if he can cope with the good SMWs , as said , time will tell .
