My bro used to box regularly up at Cleckheaton a few years ago (Gary was still amateur back then, if Gary wins a world title-- think Ima go around saying "my bro sparred with him" ... - he did XD) ... and went back for a bit last summer during holidays (too much free time!)... & saw both kids (Mohamed & his lil bro) + told me all about them back then. Saying how their Dad drives them down all the way from Keighley (that's like, probably, an hour's drive each way!).... made sure they were 'first ones in, last ones out' (push 'em hard, you get the picture). So it was pretty funny to come across that vid on YouTube on my subscriptions, heh. But yeah, keep your eye on him...!
A great contest and a great win for Gary.... boxed a great fight and was a little bit too strong in the end. Fair play to both boys for getting this one on at this stage in their respective careers...:happy:happy
crolla going nowhere...looks abit one paced...needs to get himself a regular job...people should stop hyping this kid..its not fair on him.
There was another boxer called Mohammed Ali from Blackburn. Unfortunately he was crap- and a ******. So now he's in prison.
hush up ...im only being honest...the lads going nowhere..if your ever in my manor look me up ...would like to give you a right pasting you bum.
Sykes-Crolla was a good wee scrap, well-matched and relentless from start to finish. Sykes looked like he had a bigger punch and just about nicked the result, but Crolla is technically quite good. Not sure how far either of these guys could go beyond domestic class.
