After knowing exactly what to do with himself, and indeed his opponent, on Saturday night, there is a certain irony to the fact that Shabaz Masoud, less than 48 hours later, finds himself now all out of ideas.
Save for being knocked out in round one, or badly injured, there aren’t many worse ways to lose than the way Liam Davies lost against Shabaz Masoud last night (November 2) in Birmingham.
