He looked in top shape in there...almost too good of shape...much bigger than his opponent. And he fought very stiff and had no punch resistance against an undersized Frenchman who hadn't shown any power to speak of and whose best win was a narrow decision victory over Spike O'Sullivan.
Wonder if the weight cut diminished bus punch resistance. He didn't look like the guy who beat Bentley not too long ago.

Yeah, his physical appearance was very misleading, especially after the first couple of rounds when it looked like he would box and muscle his way to a win over that scrawny-looking Frenchy.
Massive respect for the man. Like he said, he has lived his dream. Now, he can get on with reality & go back to being a teacher. Bet he won't have trouble with discipline. '
