Opinions on Steve Robinson

song is outlandish- el guantanamo...:huh so naz is cuban huh

 

hamed-robinson is essential viewing tbh.

shame he never fought barrera on that night. :yep

 

I was a big Robinson fan, beat good British competition before losing to a young and motivated Hamed. He lost to England's best, and though it pains me to say it he would probably have lost to Scott Harrison if they were around at the same time, but it would have been a cracking fight.

 

Davision was being groomed for big things until the Robinson fight.

 

Good domestic fighter.... Very lucky to be a world champion but I would describe him as very strong European class. Distinct lack of world class victories- but fabulous domestic ones. He rebounded from the Hamed loss incredibly well and almost navigated himself into a position for a rematch. Gr8 domestic fighter and should be extremely proud of his achievements.

 

I always liked Robinson. Great story and a very likeable champion. I always hoped he'd get another shot at a title but it never happened. I always enjoyed watching him fight and so did a lot of other people which is why he was the highest paid featherweight until Hamed moved up. Always in great condition, great workrate and an excellent body puncher.

 

Here here! Arrogant, jug-eared *******.

 

i have to agree with a lot on here, he was a good champion that came from nowhere, and he was an exceptionatley fit guy, i heard he used to run marathons also, dont know if thats true, read it somewhere!!!!

 

Robinson was a decent fighter, sounds to me like most here hadnt seen much or any of him before the Hamed fight.

 

I doubt that Dunk... he seemingly used to fight every other week at 8pm on ITV (when they only had the one channel!) in Cardiff Ice Rink. I think he used to use that arena more than the ice hockey team at some point in a bit of a boom time for British boxing. People even knew who Nicky Piper was at the time!

 

Isn't he a Sky pundit? I wonder how he got that job he couldn't have been a boxer, he seems far too intelligent.

 

Cracking boxer... Commonwealth light heavy champ who gave nigel benn a good tussle and went to war with Crawford Ashley... Gr8 pundit, gr8 guy, decent boxer.

 

I know

 

Steve Robinson was one of my favourite fighters ever. Like someone else has already stated, Robinson genuinely grew into his WBO belt, and was on a terrific upward curve before being pitched in with the beast that was Hamed. I do hate Hamed, ever so much....

 

What most have said on here about Robinson is spot on, he had his chance at incredibly short notice, did a job and defended it really well and was always 150 %.
Was a humble, down to earth bloke who's life was turned round because of that one chance.
I watched the Hamed fight live and I Hamed put on a masterclass, even through all the stick he was having off the crowd he was on an entirely different level.
Watching that clip of Hamed, god his footwork and agility was unbelievable even though he was a cocky twat!
