Gutted I took Satchell on points out of my acca now, predictable easy win. Can't see him going onto world level.

Flanagan/Mizsei Jr proving to be just as action packed as the last fight

This looked like a half decent card on paper...the Heffron/Thain bout aside this has been awful
And Thomas Stalker next...oh what joy!

Arakawa v Linares is worth staying up for anyway I think
Shame no where is/was taking bets on Thompson/Alvarez

Stalker,s caught Cooper with big right hooks and left hand,s throughout this fight with such cleanliness that even an average puncher would KO him yet Stalker hasnt even looked close like puttin him down

"Gotta learn your trade"
Odd that a number of fighters in other places don't take as long to learn the trade as our guys...maybe we need better teachers...

X2. Best I've seen Stalker, all of a sudden I am interested in his career ! His previous fights didn't really ring my bell

Not about how long it takes to learn, it's about doing it properly, easy to do a quick botch job, to do anything properly takes skill and time.

When you're already in your late 20's or early 30's you haven't time to do it slowly. You need to have lessons taught quick and fast and sometimes learn more than 1 thing at a time.
Stalker has been a pro for a year and doesn't really seem to have developed much.
The first lesson he was in, fighting with out the head gear, should have been his only 4 rounder, there was no need for 2 of them and top prospects in some other countries start at the 6 round level. We can't really say they are doing it wrong in Japan where the 4 rounders for top prospects aren't even thought about.
