Comments Thread For: Gary Sykes Ready To Overwhelm Buckland With Shots
GARY SYKES will be throwing an incredible 120 punches a round in Saturday’s (Sept 24th) British super-featherweight title defence against Gary Buckland.
Throwing 100 + punches a round means you are leaving yourself v open at times. This should be a good fight - i think people are underestimating Buckland if they think he can't box.
I expect him to pressurise Sykes, close him down, work the body to take his energy and look for a stoppage late.
I don't think Buckland will be looking for one shot but if it lands we know he has the power to take Sykes clean out.
Sykes is a good boxer with energy so could take this on points. But I think Buckland is an excellent pressure fighter and should walk through Sykes and break him down late or take it on points.
Buckland showed up at LW against Murray he's a very, very strong SF.
