Hamzah Sheeraz moving to Super-Middleweight

[TheLeprechaun]

He's a hypejob. Didn't know what to do against a skilled operator in Adames. Also showed a lack of heart to just do nothing and be happy to lose on points (draw was a robbery, he would have known he was losing comfortably).

Gonna be trained by Andy Lee now

[TheLeprechaun]

People thinking Andy Lee is some miracle worker. What has he actually done? Parker always had the beating of Wilder and Zhang. Wilder we know is awful and loses every round unless he lands a telegraphed right hand. Zhang runs out of gas after four rounds. Paddy Donovan beats up Crocker but that was always going to be an easy fight for Paddy. He showed petulance, fouling in the fight when he was clearly on thin ice, and then the hysterics of running around the ring crying after the fight wasn't a good look. Hamza is going to have to be well matched to avoid skilled operators and continue to fight under the Saudis to get robbery cards if need be.

Does George Lockhart base himself in Ireland and work with all Andy's fighters or just Parker?

I think Andy is a very good trainer and sharp mind and success breeds success (cliché) but you need to be careful when fighters start flocking to you as a trainer that you don't spread yourself too thin.

Well said.

I think that it's a good move for Hamzah. I'm gutted as I was going to drive up to LA to his gym 'one of these days' (probably never). Now I'll have to go to Ireland. Funnily enough Lee was born in London & brought up in Ireland & my Old Girl was the opposite. Actually, that's not that funny.

I like Sheeraz but there's some killers up at Super Middle. I think Iglesias could be the best of them all although Pacheco has been impressive thus far.

Looking forward to see who Hamzah fights first at 168. A great bout would be Steve Nelson, who just lost to Pacheco - as we know his trainer probably wouldn't be in his corner
