All you guys talk about is granite chin, exciting, blah, blah blah. He gets hit way too much, because he is not good. He is defensively inept, his footwork is horrible. I just watched this Kessler fight right now. I though Kessler won it; he did the better work. He had him staggered all of the place and he is supposed to be elite? GTFOH with that bull****. I like boxing and I enjoy skills; which he is obviously lacking. I know that is not the best the UK has to offer, because I watch a lot of UK fighters.
But this dude talks himself up as a great, however I have yet to see anything that is above average about him.
I think Martin Murray would beat his ass. Cleverly, Degale, Macklin, Barker. I'm not hating, I'm just calling it how I see it. Kessler was tagging the **** out of him. He talks **** about Ward is a spoiler. What the **** does that mean? He just stood his ground in the pocket and beat you the **** up. Dude is sloppy as **** and overrated as ****. Talking about Calzaghe; what the **** Calzaghe was an excellent boxer.
I see what you're saying, but 3 out of his last 8 opponents have gotten the better of him. 2 of them have made him look like complete ****, yet he touts himself as some sort of great when he is just an average fighter. I respect that he has gone as far as he has with his limited skills, but he is not that good, let alone great.
Not only did he come in completely overweight, he also tested positive for steroids. That’s absolutely crazy. Imagine being Haney and preparing to the best extent of your capabilities, only to be completely cheated.
Congrats to Peterson!!! I think he definitely deserved the victory, he had a rocky start, however he managed to neutralize Khan's speed with timely jabs and wore him down with great body punching. I think Amir is a good fighter, but he does have stamina issues and his defense is not the best. I think he would be better served by staying in the center of the ring and circling. I think it was a great fight, I was betting on an upset, however that was only because I was partial to Peterson. I think Khan was dirty from the very first break, where he used his elbows and punch Peterson as the ref was trying to break them up. Lamont Perterson is a very humble guy and he deserved to win. I wish him the best of luck and I cannot wait for the rematch. Freddie Roach and crew are too cocky for my liking.
