Johnny Fisher vs Steve Robinson for the WBA Heavyweight "Diamond belt" 2024

The boy should learn a bit from his last fight. He’s certainly got the fans on side where he lives, that’s always a bonus. If you can’t sell tickets you better be damn special, especially at Fishers level!

He didn't look great but it was a fairly big step up for him and I imagine he felt pressed to get an impressive win before all of his fans. He was trying to be too cute with his movement and then just telegraphing haymakers to get a stoppage win. I'm sure the cut affected his gameplan too.

Enguema isn't a terrible opponent considering where Fisher is at in his career. The Spaniard typically gives good fights to decent fighters. His two previous opponents were Faust (who just beat Kiladze) and Ahmatovic (who just fought Hrgovic).

Fisher is only 5 fights into his career and he got a very valuable lesson. He's athletic and he seems humble, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him develop into a decent fighter (top 20ish perhaps).

he is only 22 years of age and has had 10 entry level amateur fights. and then he turns pro........thats idiotic. his team obviously know he doesnt have the talent, otherwise they would have kept him amateur. they just want to cash out.

How are they cashing out with a 5 fight prospect. He also gave Fury all he could handle in sparring with next to zero fight experience just because he was physical and aggressive. A boxing novice figured out Fury and even told on how to beat him when asked ,Whytes going to brutalize Fury .

He looked kind of smallish for a heavyweight I would like to see him fight Cris colbert.

Good guy but turd boxer. Not being horrible but kind of looking forward to the day he gets brutally knocked out cold, which is definitely on the horizon..

He's a professional boxer. ie he earns money to fight. He's pushing his popularity as any individual who takes their income from providing entertainment should.

Where does 'cashing out' come into it? He literally fights for cash.

I must be cashing out in my job too. I've attempted to maximise my income rather than spending my life climbing to the highest levels of my organisation for no money.

He's had 5 fights. I'm not sure how you can have such a definitive opinion. Or a strong dislike of him!

Saw him on the card, why do they like him so much?
