was thinking the same. he's so open, anyone above this current guy will KO him surely. probably the only way he can lose too, if he's on the floor
When they move him up it will get nasty. How long can they keep this charade going and how long can they say “he’s still a novice, he’s still learning”?
yep. his team are probably earning £££ while it lasts

his corner will do their best to keep finding these boxers and keep the ride going. if he can't learn, keep the opposition level low as long as possible

Liddard v Oosterweghel was a cracking 6 rounder :clap:

The Dutchman didn't stop trying for the entire 6 rounds but Liddard was far too classy.

It's a shame this fight wasn't topping the bill in a local town hall or leisure centre. It would've sent the local fans home in raptures.

These sort of bouts used to be a common occurrence in small hall boxing shows.

They’ll say he’s 7”6 if Joshua blows him away in 90 seconds.

These ringwalks are so naff, they should do it like the UFC and have it start off from the dressing room.

Certainly looks to be more than 2-3000 in there already and it’s only the Fisher fight.

To be fair you have to give him and his old man credit they have promoted him unbelievably.

Good response from Armstrong, looked like he was getting blown away there.

He can be proud of that round whatever happens here.

Jesus wept Fisher absolutely flattens Armstrong within 15 seconds of the first but god knows how Armstrong dodger the onslaught afterwards.

Armstrong then came on just a touch in the last 30 or so landing a glancing shot to the head.


I swear the very first jab from Fisher almost had him over.

Well, if Hughie is still just a babby then he has got another 10 years yet.

2nd good novice fight we’ve had tonight after the Liddard fight earlier.


Definitely not moaning about this bill so far.

We’ve seen it many times, it looks as though Fisher’s own punches will take more out of him than anything Armstrong can throw back.

10 rounds… could get interesting if Armstrong truly belies that physique.
