I saw Pollard box once in 2020 and for a boxer with a long losing record, he looked fairly strong & durable. He put up a decent fight, but just threw too few punches.

I should imagine Pollard's mindset is almost pathologically programmed to lose. Like a compulsion. Shame, because there should at least be a few more wins on his slate.

Much so i got a mention inthe journeymen book but theres a time and a place abd a bloke with a 1-106 record showcasing his skills on prime time terrestrial tv is not the place.

I'd like to see a fight between two guys who are each like 1-75

Or a four man tournament of them

How about a four-man, winner take all tournament? While unfair to three fighters who probably could use the money, it certainly should provide some motivation.
