did you watch his fight yesterday on eurosport? it was more than o.k. for his pro debut. he was junior world champion in heavy. maybe he is boxing Francis in one of his next fights. :TU:
Yes mate I did watch it on Eurosport.

Should be intersting watching him develop, I actually taped his fight to fill up some space at the end of a 'fight' tape, so I shall watch it again soon.

Who thinks JF should retire now? And who thinks he should continue boxing?

Yes, I can't remember his exact weight but as Holdsworth said, he had been eating alot of pies.

Holdsworth commentary was way off the mark aswell, he was talking like Francis was Ali or something. Even in his prime, that fight would have been close - that was about Francis' level.

A bum is someone who falls over after one punch and doesnt know any boxing skills. Watch ESPN you usually see the odd ones there. bit like David Hayes opponents in america. he fought somone in the playboy who was drunk.
Really? I didn't see that fight, but it would be worth seeing. Was he staggering round the ring? Typical drunk, tries to start a fight with somebody harder then him. He didn't start singing Blue Moon, or Nelly Dean did he?

Was he a scheduled opponent, or somebody that just decided to get in the ring and start a fight after 6 cans of wicked strength lager?
