He won't quit but the reason i think he should consider it is that his battleplan appears to be "eat punches to the face whilst you maul the other guy". That is not a great strategy for his longterm health and i think it unlikely he can change that at 37.
What makes you think he can't take a punch? That was his first defeat, he wasnt knocked down and the ref stopped after doctors assessment because his eye was closing and he'd have taken more punishment. Not rating him is fine, but nothing wrong with his chin or heart.
He has heart, not in question but his amateur days and against people who can really punch, I don’t think he can take them very well, he is great against the likes of Parker etc but a little to static and I know it’s only opinion but I think when he faces someone who hits hard then he falters.
Tbh I didn't really know him before Rio (where he was robbed of Gold), so if you saw his early amateur career then I can't argue, but he had a decent amateur record. It's often difficult to compare with professional boxing, not only for training and ringcraft and experience, but also the way they're evaluated, almost two different sports. A long time ago now too.
Right result? Not seen it yet, watching later tonight
He is a talent, Aaron Bowen from Coventry also expected to fight, slight injured hand but has a good following of us who have watched him from his Standard Triumph days
Boxing is a joke.
