flipbull 1,139 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 he,s no spring chicken either i don,t think.Not for the fight game anyhow 28 he is richard. So probably at his peak for his weight. Sam Maxwell had a good go of him as an amature boxing for GB a few years back. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silversnake 1,099 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 That is unbelievable to only lose one amateur bout. The fella who beat him must be really pumped up! Slightly off topic but there is a Japanese fighter with a similar story naoya inoue (forgive me if I spelt that wrong) I read about him recently he was a freak amateur and fought for a world title in his fifth fight or something like that. When he went pro he swore he would have no easy fights. Not really 'traditional' starts to pro careers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His fight with Gambo is my favourite fight of recent timesI am a big fan of Crawford too, he fights Victor postol Saturday, both undefeated fighters, hopefully it is not too much of a chess match 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
