    Because he's awful. His style of fighting is absolutely horrible to watch. Inaccurate, power-less, shoe-shining combinations, not for me.

    Darchinyan is a lot more horrible to watch with his crab style :deal.

    'Awful' fighters don't win British titles (except at flyweight or something). Sykes may not be world class but he's a good fighter for this level.

    I'd have any Crabchinyan over Sykes any day, he's like a poor, white, orthodox, British Devon Alexander. The Crabman's got power and an awful lot of savvy about him(plus I'm a sucker for a southpaw).

    Mate, every fighter isn't cut out for the top level. Just cos someone doesn't have the nouse to compete at world level doesn't make them **** or awful.

    Sykes finally going to the body. Knew he could go there often if he committed himself there.

    Tough round to score. 4-1 Bucko.

    Buckland 5-1, terrible commentary by that new guy who has been awful for the last 3 or 4 weeks Sky Boxing has been back on.

    Buckland landed the better shots in that round.

    :huh I know.

    I'm talking style-wise. I don't particularly rate Buckland, but I still love watching the guy fight. I can't stand watching Sykes because of his style, I haven't got anything against him, I just hate the way he goes about his work, which is essentially just out-working the other guy with aimless flurries. There's no poise, composure, nothing that the way he fights suggests he should have, just flurry upon flurry.

    EDIT: This can also be directed at SPK, I watch fighters who aren't very good from all over the world at ungodly hours, believe me, that's not the case.
    :thumbsup

    I wish he'd learn to throw a right hand, but he almost doesn't have to because his left is so unpredictable, as Diamante found out.:|
