'He doesn't have the durability, firepower, or stamina to compete among the top guys at 14 stone 7.’
In fairness, that would be 203ib which is above Cruiserweight &, an oddly specific weight around Cruiserweight, so, no he wouldn’t be remotely competitive v like, Chris Billam-Smith or Lawrence Okolie. BUT, you are right that he isn’t that competitive at 10 stone 7 either. He looked, TBH, tired & a bit fed up in there. Part of it, though, was how Essumann was ridiculously sharp & just **** on the money from first bell of R1 to last bell of R12. I’ve always liked & admired Essumann & you can check my history on that, but tonight, really, he brought it. I didn’t think he would be good enough to beat Taylor but I’m delighted to be proved wrong.
