    Yes, showed good composure after the KD. You have to be impressed by his talent given his lack of experience. But is Savon known to be heavy-handed? Bit concerning that he's been dropped so many times by him - potential chin issues in the pros.

    I think he will make a good pro - in spite of not looking good last night. It will be a while before he meets anyone as slick as the Kazakh in the pros. Still only 25 too

    i have to agree with this, i think the longer fights will suit him better. I've heard at the gb camp he is the first in the gym and the last out every session so his stamina will defo not be an issue:good

    I've never seen him fight before. so maybe he got anxious coz he got clocked early and when to chase the fight from the first 30 seconds.

    But he looked about as good as hatton vs pacman. I don't think we'll ever see him at world level

    Fowler is too flat footed and one paced for my liking. Still not seen yesterday as fight though. He's a good tidy technican but went as far as he's going to in the amateurs.

    Ashfaq is going out unless something very dramatic happens. Dropped, being out boxed rather easily.

    This GB team has been so disappointing considering British boxing in general is on a high.

    Yeah I was watching on my phone at work. He didn't looked great. Dropped heavily and was second to every punch.

    The Cuban lad on a couple fights before him was great to watch, awesome showboating.

    Yeah spot on.

    The Cuban Light Heavyweight, La Cruz, what a class act, that was an exhibition.
