Marku really isn’t very good

If they had a rematch in France he’d probably lose.

[skanksta]

He's very strong, has a decent defence, some power and surely has a great chin.
Plus he's ok.

Wouldn't be a terrible test for Conor Benn.

[JamesPhilips]

And there’s the respect!

[KiwiRider]

And someone tell him that you don’t win rounds by standing and goading your opponent.
Oh, and as for Adam Smith and Matt Macklin, Marku’s not going to shag either of you.

I think your taking him too seriously, it's a sideshow attraction like The Cabbage. They will feed him pillow fisted durable guys and he will entertain and put bums on seats.

He is a ticket seller and that's it, would never get a fight others, big Albanian support in London.

And selling tickets is great. He helped that show, and he is entertaining if you accept who and what he is. I got no issues with Babic for the same reasons

Imagine Marku taking that uppercut in the last round from Ava .
He got hit far too often , like he does in most of his fights .

I think he's found his level now .

[milpool]

I’m glad that it wasn’t scored 80-72, Luisetto deserved more than that, he was giving it a go throughout the eight rounds. Marku won but Luisetto gave him a good scrap.

I’d actually like to see him in with ‘the son of Niggle Benn’…

Easy work for Benn.

Azim/Greener - Azim looked good but wasn’t up against much. No problem with the matchmaking but I thought they went overboard about him - particularly Adam Smith.

Azeez/Burton - top performance by Azeez. First time I’ve seen but really impressed. Burton looked weak with no pop in his punches but Azeez was compact, strong and accurate with his punching. Will be interesting to see where Azeez goes next as most of the other good light heavyweights have deals elsewhere. I really like Azeez’s attitude too.

Campbell fight - as expected.

Riakporhe fight - I don’t think this would have surprised anyone. His opponent had spent the last handful of years being stopped by anyone decent or beating complete unknowns. Crazy really how highly he was ranked by the WBC. Riakporhe looked sharp though but would like to see him in with better opposition particularly if he’s headlining a show.

Marku fight - more competitive than expected. Marku really isn’t much good. I see him signing with Matchroom, fighting in Albania and, unless he does crazy business over there, then fighting Benn and getting beat.

More enjoyable than I expected but that’s because I loved watching Azeez (Hagler is one of my all time favourites). They could have done with a better main event though.

There didn’t seem many people there particularly for. Wembley arena show but they got the fight acoustics right making it sound like a good atmosphere.
