Comments Thread For: 'Patience Is A Virtue' - Zelfa Barrett

[BoxingUpdates]

Zelfa Barrett has had to be patient. There are only five miles between the Middleton Arena where Barrett made his professional debut and the AO Arena that so many of Manchester's best fighters have headlined but 'The Brown Flash' has had to wait nine years for his opportunity to top the bill there. Barrett has had to be patient in the gym, spending countless hours drilling techniques and tactics time and time and time again until his uncle and trainer, Pat, is happy and the 30-year-old has also had to bide his time inside the ring, serving a long apprenticeship on the small hall circuit and then moving through the levels while waiting for a chance to prove himself capable of having a show built around him.

Barrett looked good this time out - slick boxing, good ring generalship, wicked body shots. This was a good same-day antidote to the dreadful Anderson show on ESPN. Barrett rose to the occasion and delivered for the fans and for his reputation.

He definitely has the right temperament. Body snatching is hard work.
