No, but people are reacting to him being set up as a hype job just like Connor Benn has been. Matchroom clutching at straws having brought Fisher through as a ticket seller with a 'personality', as they've got very little else in the UK stable. It's not 100% the same but in the darts this past week, there are seeds being downed left, right and centre. Sky must be embarrassed showing the 'back story' video for some of the seeded players only for them to get knocked out in straight sets.
Agreed - it's incredible how toxic things can get after someone (in any sport) slips up. Well over the top. However......what is equally bad is the ludicrous overhyping of average talents and I think this leads to some people jumping all over a bad performance and putting the person down. We get it continuously rammed down our throats that certain sports people are 'world level' when quite clearly they are not. Then when they do get exposed people like to vent at what they have been mis sold. Fisher is a young, decent enough boxer who seems a likeable bloke. Maybe it was a bad night at the office, maybe the best level he reaches is British level.......absolutely no shame in that. If Eddie and Co had promoted him a way that reflected this then I imagine the reaction to the judges scores would be toned down considerably.
Spot on Fisher and his family will tell you he has a ton to learn, no ego what's so ever there If he fought more taxi drivers people would moan, he takes a step up(laugh all you want, Allen is a step up) and he gets hammered for not winning convincingly Sure Eddie hasn't helped at all but some people get a real kick out of seeing somebody fall Look at the AJ threads when he loses I'm no fan of his at at but the comments are insane People actually saying he is British level is some next level stupity or hatred Fisher probably never expects to hit world level and will be happy and proud of he fights at Euro level And yes that is something to be proud of esp if your earning enough to set a family up for life along the way
Prior to the fight, Chinese Bosh was saying he was more nervous for the Babic fight than he was for Dave Allen because Johnny was looking so good in the gym and couldn't show all he had learnt because the Babic fight ended so early, etc. Adding that Jimmy Tibbs was praising how good Bosh Jnr was looking. Bosh Snr was expecting a stoppage and said if Dave Allen wins, he would have to be 10 times better than anything he'd ever shown before. The Allen who showed up, by his own admission, was 40 % of the fighter he is, yet Chinese Bosh just literally told Gareth he doesn't have a clue and is a disgrace, which is clearly him projecting. Hearn was expecting a blowout. and an out-of-shape, over-the-hill Allen to be showing up simply for the payday and swallow it like he did against Clarke; otherwise, the fight would have never been made. Now he can't wait to do the rematch. because he knows it does good numbers in the UK, and truthfully couldn't care less if Young Bosh incurs sustained damage as he will have options on both fighters. Anyone who knows boxing knows that wasn't an off night for Fisher, and his saving grace was his own youth and fitness, along with the fact Allen turned up for his training camp at over 20 stone and had been inactive, aside from two non-descript four-rounders since the Clarke fight. As for Joshua, his mask has slipped more times than Zorro's, just ask Eddie Chambers',
Alot of truth there but I genuinely don't understand the context of your post? I know the family and they always acknowledge how much more he has to learn And Gareth Arse Davies despite having a point just goes again to show he has about as much consistency and the English weather He wouldn't dare say something similar about a fighter which might cost him access AJ and Chambers stuff was covered up very well by the media so I doubt that had anything to do with the public kicking him when he is down AJ has at times not helped himself but people all of a sudden saying he was/is British level is ludicrous @Beale sorry as much as I enjoy your posts, you've been possibly the most terrible poster when it comes to AJ Like I say, I'm no fan but people don't really acknowledge what he did for British boxing
Dunning-Kruger is the context, and Chinese Bosh is the epitome of its effect, as are most low-level narcissists. If the rematch is made, I actually hope Fisher wins, as if he loses, his career will be over and will very likely play out very much like David Price, only more brutal and at a much lower level. It will overnight become an all-or-nothing fight, just like Price v. Thompson 2, and that's a lot of pressure to put on a rookie, and the fact Hearn is willing to roll the dice shows how little he cares, along with how desperate he has become for his next bankable star. Total snake, so much more than a low-level narcissist, more sociopathic and Machiavellian, is fast car. Edit: I like @Beale's posts and think he is one of the better contributors. He adds balance to the forum, and aside from the last couple of days, I read the board far more than I post.
Agreed @beales great but he has about as much balance as a broken see saw when it comes to AJ lol Fair post and totally agree with Hearn No different from any other promoter just a nicer smile
I hope so, the forum is a better place with him posting. Anyway,I've got the last minute frantic wrapping of presents to do now. Merry Christmas fellow forum users - I hope you all have a good one
