I remember Anthony from the amateurs and he seemed a bit deluded and to thrive on attention and confrontation but he was quite comedic in a bizarre way.

Looks like he has found a platform that gives him all of this, but to the very extreme.

Small was largely deluded, though a decent enough boxer at a certain level (though not SRCJJ).

He never seemed to have any friends to come and see him fight. He try and adopt this Chris Rock or whatever type of personality - but frankly the Sainsbury's basic version. Repeating nonsense out of context, like 'don't hate the player, hate the game' etc.

He wasn't too disliked in the amateur game as he could fight. But some of the stories I've hear of him taking liberties with novices and no contest fighters are ugly.

I guess he always wanted the limelight But when he didn't do it in boxing, tried another route.

Essentially he's a man of limited intelligence with a deluded opinion of himself.

I have heard (but can't confirm) that he's also a severe hypocrite with children by different mothers (not married) that he doesn't see. I can't confirm that, so it's not gospel, but what is clear is that he's an attention seeking, self centred, nasty person who has few friends

Small schooling Matty Hall was his high point, no?
Hall came across as a.knob in the buildup IIRC, I wasn't too displeased to see that.

That was a surprise to me really. I would've like to see Rhodes - Small, that would be interesting

Rhodes would have fucken banjoed Small. Devastating KO.

Really? I'm not sure: I have it a 60:40 fight for Rhodes. Rhodes' chin was shaky. Anyway it was lined up once or twice I believe and I would certainly have watched it with interest

They were a level apart IMO. nobody whose best win was Matty Hall is knocking out a man who stopped Jamie Moore, IMO. Small might take a while for Rhodes to work out but he cant avoid that right hook all night.

Ha, no, nothing specific but I am sure I have seen posters who just happen to have an 'S' postcode, give some sort of 'domestic strife/bird flu/ nan died' type reason. For every fight he lost pretty much but definitely Blundell

He's mentally unstable with alarming and dangerous levels of hatred for western society. He's your classic radicalized lone wolf terror attack waiting to happen.

He's far too much of a coward. If he had owt about him he'd be off abroad fighting for the cause.

I dont know. Anyone that has the guts to box professionally, cant be that much of a coward. A coward would get found out in their very first fight or so.

That's not to say the guy isnt a scumbag though.

You think boxing is the equivalent of actually going to war in a country run by Stone Age fornicate wits who you profess to support? Nah, he's not that stupid, he's got a nice little life with his tiny amount of notoriety saying things on YouTube to rile up idiots. I repeat, if he had anything about him and he was a true believer he'd be out there fighting and living the life.

Theres probably a lot of soldiers that wouldnt feel comfortable boxing as strange as that may seem.

However like you said, i think its more of a case of him being comfortable in his surroundings in the UK, talking shit on youtube.

I doubt he's actually out and out scared of doing it though.

I think he's desperate for attention and genuinely a bit mental. Not great ingredients. And no he's not an out and out coward if he could get in a boxng ring.
