Brit Pack Round by Round Discussion

[STEELHEAD]

cleverly took a half step up and struggled.
amazing how amatuerish cleverly looked against nad!
nad made clev look like a rookie. man the crowd was not simpithetic either.

anyone else think that cleverly has outgrown his trainer?
this guy has talent. but he needs pro's in his corner.

That in the bold is all fine and dandy...

But, when you say this is boxing and no one cares if an opponent is awkward and you gotta be able to fight all styles...

You gotta take into account the preparation for that style. If you do it in one week notice how are you going to be able to handle that style?

Nobody is saying he is the best LHW...However, I do think he is better than what he showed tonight. I think if he was preparing for this opponent and/or style from the get go I think you would of seen a better performance.

But, it was a one week notice. But, it is what it is I don't think he can beat Hopkins, Pascal, Dawson, Cloud, or Campillo right now. However, I do think he is better than what he showed tonight.

IF YOU ARE TO BE CONSIDERED *WORLD CLASS* is what you left out. at this point i can't call clev a world class light heavyweight. now that doesn't mean he'll NEVER be world class as he can go back and improve himself......he still has plenty of time to improve.

Why is DeGale getting boo'd?

He is fighting Smith who is from Liverpool.

[Bierstadt]

Which idiot put 25,000 pounds on DeGale? He's gonna walk away with just about 5k, and if you got 25 grand to play with I doubt the extra five is a huge amount.

If anything, Smith is a great deal on odds.

cant wait for this

[Drunk Punch]

This is the fight. DeGale's chance to shine and show whether he really is something special. I think DeGale is too good.

I guess, I honestly think anybody even some who you think might be world class would look less than stellar if they fought an awkward fighter in one week notice. JMO...

Yeah, I'm figuring that out. lol. I just assumed all these fights were "UK vs The World" fights not "UK vs UK".

Thanks.

Why is DeGale getting boo'd?

He may be British but lots of people here still think he's a **** who's got a very inflated opinion of himself. I can't disagree with them.

[AKATheMack]

Since they are both British that means the ref probably isnt going to stop this for no reason, right?
