      Schofield is extremely talented but will need seasoning and a better style. The constant bouncing around and switching from southpaw to orthodox makes him look wild and disorganized. I almost wanted to yell at the TV “plant your feet and walk the guy down!!” It’s not pleasing to watch and judges won’t like it in close rounds. At age 20, no doubt a ton of potential, and I think GBP will smarten up and bring him along appropriately.
      Oh man will you shut up..

      You clearly have never watched Schofield fight if you wanna howl about he doesn’t walk fighters down, he clearly has in the past and did so tonight as well..

      The issue was the ref called two additional clear knock downs as tangles of the feet and never did anything about constant blatant holds by Mercado

        does remind me of a more athletic Shawn Porter

        not ready for Haney or Keyshawn though but great and free Promo for him having both Keyshawn Davis and Devin Haney talking about him taking the bait that Kid Austin and his dad put out

          Neither promoter would do that in 2023, but I could see that in 2024! Bob moving Keyshawn, Zayas, "Shu-Shu," and Jared Anderson at the right pace! He could probably move Keyshawn and Jared a little faster, but I doubt he will! Schofiled only 20! I think GBP should have him in the ring every 90 days for 2023, then Top 15s in 2024!

            That's his fault for pushing after punching wouldn't have made a difference though he was going to win regardless. He looked ok he has decent power but his defense is very leaky he took a lot of clean shots, if that was world class competition I don't think he would take them too well.

              Young and talented but waste tons of energy and shoots all shots to hard, if he develops a real jab and learn to settle down counter and place shots, the sky is the limit but if he doesn’t develop I can see early burnout! Especially at the higher level fighting real lightweights, plus he has defensive lapses.
