Comments Thread For: Johnny Fisher blasts out stunned Alen Babic in 36 seconds

[Left Hook Louie]

I find Barry Jones extremely frustrating too. When i listen to him in interviews and discussions, I'm constantly have to pause and rewind the video, sometimes 3 or 4 times, to understand what he's saying.

Why do I bother doing that? Because when I can understand him, he talks a lot of sense. The guy really knows boxing. I wish he would take elocution lessons. Or maybe just make a conscious effort to slow down and stop stringing 10 words together as if they were all one long word. Babbling like that, plus his strong Welsh regional accent, makes it very difficult to follow what he's saying.

Thanks for posting this because it gives me a follow-up to say yeah, it's not the content but the delivery. When I focus as best I can I can tell he's making sense. I figured he would be adding valuable content or DAZN wouldn't keep bringing him back. It also would help if I lived somewhere in the UK, but 350 million Americans don't....are you listening, DAZN? Don't fire the guy (I'm not an ayy-hole) but please provide subtitles

Babic was dumb to get up so fast. He could easily have continued with a little more recovery

It's not only Americans who struggle to understand Barry. I'm in the UK, but I'm English, not Welsh.

He is taking it very seriously. He's with one of the UK's top trainers and has devoted himself to living the life of a full time pro fighter.

The question is, did he take up boxing too late to acquire something that can't be taught - the instinctive ability to effectively use what you have been taught to come out on top when the **** hits the fan. I'm thinking Seth Mitchel here. Johnny could turn out to be a UK version of Seth.

Seth Mitchell is the perfect parallel. Mitchell was also a football player, and from what I can remember, he was well-spoken and had a good head on his shoulders. He just didn't have the punch resistance to go far. Fisher has a leg up over Mitchell in that he picked up boxing earlier. Whether that makes a dramatic difference remains to be seen. His career will be fun to follow though. MR needs to keep him active. If possible, throw him on Catterall's next card, or on the Wembley card.

Big F-in deal against a clown like Babic who can’t take a shot anywhere in the head. Babic is slower than molasses and his reflexes are non existent. The Croatian fighters are going down like flies

Hergovic….a robot who fights like he’s stuck in quick sand.
Babic…a slow as molasses clown who can’t take a punch.
Smakici….KO’ed in 3 rounds by Kabayel. His claim to fame is cutting Fury in sparring

Now you have Hearn all over hype job Johnny Fisher’s jock strap because he sells tickets but can’t fight a lick.

I don't know, but I'll bet..that either a "clown like Babic" or "hype job Johnny Fisher" would beat the snots out of every person on earth who knows your name.

Just selecting you at random. Lots of so-called fans disrespect the athletes.

Absolutely he will.
Also. monkeys will fly out of Eddie Hearn's butt.
One of my predictions above will actually come true.

Well I haven’t heard a single word from Fisher about a rematch so it’s obvious Fisher is ducking Babic. He knows it was a lucky win and he’ll take every advantage he can from this.

I wonder what species of monkey it will be.

Agreed. Always gets my back up a bit.

Like Ricky Hatton used to say - it's not tiddlywinks.

Babic was as usual, game, but got frozen by a shot (who knew that getting hit by a 240 pound bloke could do that sometimes? Oh yeah - absolutely everybody) and then he got his brain sloshed around and would have got badly hurt if the ref was an idiot and allowed it to go on.

I just can't imagine being a c.unt big enough to have a go at both fighters when the implicit risk they were both taking on the night were so evident in what was always gonna be high contact, brief, shootout.
