BoxingDepot gives his 'eye test' results - THOUGHTS?

[Combat Talk Radio]

BoxingDepot is a guy who runs a site that sells DVD collections of fighters, both boxing and MMA. He has almost everyone and updates as new fights happen.

The quality of his output is questionable so I wouldn't recommend buying from them. But he also sends emails with his thoughts about various fighters based on his 'eye test'.

I'd like to know what NSB has to say about his opinions. Pick any one or however many fighters and what you think about what he said about them.



EFE AJAGBA - shaky chin exposed against club fighter

DEMETRIUS ANDRADE - dying on the vine, needs a big fight

JEZREEL CORRALES - loses against up and comer Colbert

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR - yet another embarrassing performance

GERVONTA DAVIS - feasts on the older Gamboa

DANIEL DUBOIS - will finally get a step up in class against Joyce

TONY HARRISON - hard luck 154 pounder keeps fading late

JARRETT HURD - pedestrian win over Santana

JOE SMITH JR - in against a reluctant Jesse Hart

FELIX VERDEJO - still feasting on inferior opposition

[lolpz]

I mean he didn't say anything that any other casual boxing fan would say, regular surface level opinions.

Efe Ajabga - Still very green with much room to grow, would be criminal to rate him this early in his career. Has a lot to learn still.

Demetrius Andrade - Agreed, definitely needs a big fight. But everyone knows this, and everyone is ducking him as well as he is extremely high risk and very low reward.

Jezreel Corrales - Has always been overrated. Beat an Uchiyama that got old overnight. Was truly exposed against Castellanos, was on his way to losing the fight until it got stopped due to a cut. He was fading badly in the second half. Some had Castellanos up, or a draw. Machado who was extremely overrated himself and has FINALLY been exposed sparked him. A guy rated this highly has no business losing to a guy like Memphis Miller to begin with. He never really had a chance against a guy who can truly be special in a few years, Chris Colbert.

Chavez Jr. - Known gatekeeper who doesn't take boxing serious. Just a big name everyone knows this, nothing new.

Gervonta Davis - Special talent, big fights will show this. He's just very young so he is being groomed and moved a bit slowly by his team, smart management.

Dubois - Finally gets the golden ticket to expose the fraud Joe Joyce. Joyce is not a top heavyweight by any means. Dubois on the other hand has a great future, horrible fight for Joyce but he is old and needs something fast.

Harrison - Lost both Charlo fights imo. Has a stamina problem, can give any 154 pounder a run for their money but always fades.

Hurd - Another overrated guy who is just HUGE for the division. Honestly thought Lara edged him, wasn't surprised Williams outboxed him so easily. Hurd was waiting to be exposed.

Smith Jr - Always has a puncher's chance and is very tough. You must have good defense for 12 rounds. Hart is a straight up bum at 175, should drop back down in weight as he has no business at light heavyweight.

Felix Verdejo - Has the talent but needs the right mindset and trainer to bring it out of him. He needs to get over what I suspect is a potential mental block keeping him from developing as much as he should.

Ajabga is an interesting one.

Seems like the ones with knockout power are always thought to be hiding glass. Wilder has the same shadow hanging over his head thanks to Sconiers and to a lesser degree Ortiz.
