    6 round debut vs a guy not there to roll over is a promising start to a career
    He's right though these days, there really ain't so much between the two sports any more, cept the Ams have same day weigh ins, more rational weightclasses and proper universal rankings without the cherrypicking. Unfortunately they also got the corruption too.

      True true.

      Cruserweight debut for The Quiet Man. Don't get sparked by the Brown Bomber

          Steven 'the Quiet Man' Ward who got flattened by Bolotmiks 10 months ago Vs A.N.Opponent going by the name of Jone Volou who's coming off 4 consecutive losses.

          Not hard to predict a winner here.

            Fail was a decent amateur man. ABA finalist, has a pretty awkward style being a tall southpaw too.

              Gotta be assuming Volou's with the Gurkhas, they ain't actually said so but if hes Nepalese....

              EDIT: Ooops hes Fijian, coulda sworn they said Nepal. Senility kicking in I guess.

                Great having Barry Jones on commentary, Sky not having a bias commentator shilling, and having a guy actually assessing the fight from a technical perspective is a welcome change.

                  I could see from his technique he had some pedigree and I thought the name sounded vaguely familiar but I don't recall ever actually seeing him fight in the ammys. He looks to have some real skill, Chapman ain't great but he ain't there to just lie down either.

                    I missed the fight tbh man, just got back from a meal, I remember watching him lose to Jordan Reynolds though in the ABA’s.
