Alan Babic is one of the more likeable guys in the sport. It'll be sad to watch this KO.

This is a good fight I reckon.

Realistically both are a very similar skill level, and both will come for a fight, so looking forward to it.

Babics chin is obviously dented though, so would back the bigger, possibly more durable Fisher to win. But a good fight nonetheless.

I agree about Babic being a likeable guy, and I, too, expect Fisher to use his size, reach, and likely power advantages to win by KO.
But I can't recall having seen Fisher get really tagged. Babic swings wildly and often, and we may find out if the Romford Bull has a glass chin himself.
Stranger things have happened.

Wait, did i read that right? You think Fisher and Babic have the same skill level? Fisher isn't the most talented out there, but he's way beyond the likes of Babic who is nothing more than a brawler with little defence.

That description fits Fisher pretty well too? I like the guy, but let's be real, his dad is the star of the show.

Fisher is bigger and likely a better chin, so I think he goes further though. Maybe European level.

Oh i don't think Fisher goes anywhere. But he's definitely more skilled than Babic. Fisher can control distance pretty well and set everything up with a decent jab. His rhythm and movement isn't too bad either. None of these things apply to Babic though.

I don't know enough to have an opinion on Fisher's chin. I don't remember it being tested too much. Let's hope we find out soon though.

I reckon stick the trainer in with fisher , he will talk him to death soon eventually.

Why is everyone talking about this Johnny Fisher all of a sudden? Why I have never heard of him before? Is Babic just really fighting a bum?

I can only speak for myself, but I post occasionally about Fisher so I guess I can try and answer your question. He's a regional fan favorite who is a young (both age and experience) heavyweight in the UK. He gets lots of exposure on the undercards of DAZN fights so we in the US get treated to the promotional hype that comes with any DAZN show. It seems Fisher is about to take somewhat of a step up in competition and fight undersized fan-friendly Alen Babic this Saturday. Utterly meaningless in the AJ/Usyk/DDD/Fury swirl of frothy jabber, but promises to be a fun scrap since both are eager to mix it up. Basically, a good fight regardless of skills or rankings. And isn't that half the fun of being a boxing fan?
