Johnny 'The Romford Bull' Fisher

[KiwiRider]

Btw expect the next 12 months’ of opponents will weigh 225lbs max. Struggled with the size of the Spaniard which is normal considering he’s only 22 years old.
No way Eddie wants to take risks. He fills out a third of the arena on his own.
That’s tremendous.

I thought that fight was a risk, for a guy who was 4-0 and almost zero amateur background.

surely not much of a risk for a powerful guy with sharp coordination, fast hands and feet, an iron chin, a big gas tank (regardless of clearly tiring in the actual fight rather than sparring), and nice super heavyweight physique! he's got it all

but seriously, it was a good test for him at this stage. he passed it clearly but showed some issues, and in general i think will be an accident waiting to happen if they dont take him carefully. they should prob drop the level a bit for the next couple fights, then give him another enguema type who is durable and has some craft but no power. keep him relatively safe while he keeps getting good gym work in

at 22, there's time to play the long game

Totally agree. Like I said, a risk for a 4-0 guy with minimal amateur experience. But on the other hand, I wouldn't want him taking the 35 rail yard hobo Wilder route, because no matter how casual his fan base is, even they would get bored eventually.

Been said elsewhere, but I think they need to send him abroad for a few fights. This stage of his career's all about learning (starting with the straight right hand) and he's going to burn the audience out doing that. And he's not one who can be fast-tracked, frankly.

It wasn’t a risk. There’s literally 3 Spanish heavyweight fighters who have fought professionally in the last few years.
If you can’t beat this Spanish champion then professional fighting isn’t for you.
He’s 22… that’s his saving grace.
It was a horrid performance.

[margaret thatcher]

can we can the idea of him fighting healy now

[gregregegg]

Can the BBBoC title Call Romford bull vs Adelay for the vacant english title when wardly drops it.

[margaret thatcher]

actually, i guess with big john's age and inexperience i couldnt be too mad at a fight like healy still, but would much like to see better tests

[margaret thatcher]

i guess they could, but would they both take it is the question

adaleye is a bit further along, but with johnny you got this very green 22 year old kid with plenty of time. do they put him in a fight like that now, even if they think he probably wins

Yea probably not, id just like to see it ordered... take it to bids. see what happens. close fight for me.

probably bad business for fisher though, who probably wouldent wanna risk his lucrative can crushing gig.

Both will be competing for opponents over the next couple of years though, i think both need to alternate between journeymen for the learning, and pretty padded records for the hype... they can recycle the journymen, but your Vladimir Tereshkin, patric korte and JD chapman s are a rare find.

Fisher turns in a 2 minute KO and Eddie promised to have him out by years end.
Not sure he is learning anything from the level of guy they are putting in front of him now.
Still, he sold a lot of tickets, and his fans seemed to lap it up.

I wonder what he is getting paid… 20000? 50000? 100000? More? If he is sensible with his money he can basicaly have retirement kinda money befor he even ventures to area level…

Agree he needs to step up a little bit just to remind him to box sometimes rather than club. Slowly slowly, but just enough to keep him honest and progressing.

[funso banjo baby]

First big right hand landed fully on the back of Musil's head.

Shame this is part of the game now.

But fisher will be exciting in a few years when he's put in with someone with a pulse.

saw lots of back of the head punches too on youtube highlights

[gregregegg]

I don’t think they were true back of head shots. They were just on/behind the ear. But they were close.

Wait rewatched the first ones probably is. But if your standing face to face you gotta be able to throw a looping right, if your opponent turns his head that’s kinda on him…

[blanca]

Babic v Fisher, two nightclub doormen going at it. Do it for the fans

yeah the guy didn’t want any of it and ended up getting some on the back of the bonce instead. not intentional

agree

but it’ll mean the end of a beautiful story for one of them

[Coco]

Fisher is def getting better

[margaret thatcher]

Fisher is def getting better

yup, windmilling a binman showed some real improvement, havent seen him do that before

[The Gratest]

We need to see what happens when someone takes him into the deep water. He can't just go wading right in all the time. Might get caught on the fly.

Now he is stepping in and out, jabbing and double jabbing before the right hand.

[Glass Joe]

I'm going to play matchmaker, how about Andy Ruiz wish version. Never been stopped

[Sammy Scaff]

I'd pay to see him fight Sonny Conto.

What happened to Babic? He seems to have just disappeared?

Waiting for his bridger weight title shot. He is also mando for euro heavyweight title (which I think he should take instead). Then if he could win he could fight Dave Allen for the euro and finally get that match done.

He relinquished his position with the EBU.
