    Lucas Browne won the minor WBA or whatever it was against shot-fat Chagaev.
    I guess this proves that if you have a big punch you can beat Olympic gold medallists when they run out of gas.

    Well, guys like Algieri are a abit of a grey area.

    He was a world class kickboxer before turning to boxing.

    So, not really a complete newbie.

    Dillian Whyte only had 7 amateur fights and won the WBC Interim Champion title, in a competitive division.

    Yeah when you have someone like Rodney Berman cooking the cards and cherrypicking opponents it's definitely possible.

    Live sparring is bull****, you can`t get nothing but prep from a sparring session that`s what it`s for it`s just practise, nothing like an olympic amateur bout, your sparring partner will usually be a pretty low level boxer.
