Comments Thread For: Sunny Edwards Overcomes Felix Alvarado's Rally, Boxes To Decision Win

[Regge]

Bam maybe as he also has elite footwork (would love to see that fight) but Sunny would dance rings around Martinez. Sunny might hold tactically for a spell after a period of great movement but that's the game and he does it no more than any other boxer who depends on his legs. Doesn't make him trash. He's world class.

That holding doesn't do it for me see us as hardcore fans wonder why out sport isnt main stream and get the attention it deserves and it's because of those tactics. I don't like it when people say "hey holding is part of the game" thats atrocious. Ppl Pay to see fights this is boxing but it's also prize fighting hence the word FIGHTING!!!! If ppl wanted to see two guys dance they would watch ballroom dancing.

If you like it thats cool but you have to realize fighters that do that hurt the sport more than anything because when the networks/fans/gereral public see that they are 100% turned off.

I enjoy great defense standing in front of an opponent and making him miss combos is beautiful and is generally appreciated but HOLDING as part of you're defense is no good, not good at all and never will be.

Does he fúck hold more then Haney, maybe Martinez and Bam would beat him but I don't like guessing we need to see it, theoretical outcomes don't mean shít.

I agree but I highly doubt Edwards will fight outside the UK.

If Edwards had power he would beat everyone. But if cows could fly, I'd be rich selling oversized umbrellas. But he can box, that is for sure.

Appreciate your view and I know where you're coming from (I also love defensive work like you describe ). I think there's scope for all sorts of styles, and there will always be boxers who spoil and skirt the rules excessively but I don't think Edwards is one of them though.

I agree but I highly doubt Edwards will fight outside the UK.

His debut was in Spain and his previous two fights were in Dubai, I don't see why he would suddenly be unwilling to fight outside of the UK.

Especially when you consider he's seemingly desperate to land the Martinez fight.

Body, body, body, body, Felix, body

OK, I bet on Alvarado. Sonny is a lot better than I thought. I expected him to build up a big lead over the first 6 but I expected Felix to cut him down in the championship rounds & Felix couldn't do that. Credit to Edwards.

Lol no way

Edwards is trash he's held more than Haney but gets away with it because he's in his hometown. Martinez and especially Bam would obliterate his fragile little body.

Martinez can’t cut off the ring. Edwards UD’s him.

He agreed to fight Martinez in Mexico but Martinez’s team pulled out demanding more money.

I don’t think he can fight in the US because of his MTK/Kinahan connections.

He'd beat Martinez probaly but I don't think he'd beat bam. I woudnt mind seeing him fight chocolatito either tbh
