that'll just be another marking time fight.

won't learn much.

like to see an eliminator for the british by the end of the year tbh.

he's bombing thru the level he's at right now. :KO:
I thought he was fighting Dilks, which would be a decent test at this stage IMO

Not many on here if any can say they won Gold, lot of jealous people about you have a lot to say :shame:
Yup must be jealousy, it's why we're all ripping into Ward, Gamboa, Chakhiev and why we all hate Oscar... :wink:
