Johnny 'The Romford Bull' Fisher

[3132DW]

Eddie Hearn came in and actually at the start most saw him as a breath of fresh air to challenge Frank. Then he started doing well and everyone hated him.

Sam Jones seems similar but for some reason everyone hates him from the start. ‘Whoaaa he’s talking his fighters up. How fuc king dare he.’ That usual god bothering sh1t that you see from people on here.

For me he’s a guy doing well so good luck to him. I’d love to be in the spot he is, I think management within boxing is a great job if you are lucky with who you get. Sams struck gold with Joe Joyce in my opinion so it gives him a great platform to launch from.

I like sam jones. Thought he was a prat originally but the way he humiliated allegedly in the Dubois Joyce build up was legendary

I’m the same - thought he was helmet at 1st - but he’s got passion for his fighters - seems to get them fights and paid so he’s doing his job and seems to be growing his stable.

Fisher fighting tonight at Fight Camp 2. will be interesting to see how he's come along since his last fight

i still feel like im being gaslighted by people saying theyre impressed with this guy

Every time someone’s impressed it’s *for a uni rugby player who’s done fornicate all boxing*

Myself included.

Got a good head on his shoulders, big, fit, wanting to learn at the right pace. All great attributes for a young heavy. But at least 10 fights from British levle (if he ever gets there)

[margaret thatcher]

ya i mean he's a young guy with time to improve...

but to me very much looks like some big brawny tough rugby guy .....who hasnt done much boxing at all. novice amateur type stuff.

[maverick23]

Not sure anyone’s saying he’ll be a great but he’ll be a fun fighter to watch. I think he looks better than his level of experience and, if he can take a punch, will get to British title level.

[golden_labrador]

agreed

[Dioufy]

He just beat a potential area belt holder in his 3rd fight… pretty easily too. Who knows how he will go but that’s a good start.
Fight for the English next I reckon as surely Wardley will move on.

whittaker is a pudding mate, nothing remotely impressive about beating him

and danny of course lost the only area title fight he had

Obviously he is.
Look at Healy who beat him.
But it’s still a decent win… and manner thereof.

[margaret thatcher]

ya, no kidding

whitty blasted out in 1 by nick webb, couldnt beat healy for the central area. massively overweight. beating him up doesnt really mean much at all imo.

british title over the long run......sure i'll say that is a realistic goal/hope for johnny

[jameswilson]

Stick him in with Mark Bennett. See if he can get him out of there faster than Alen ‘The Cabbage’ Babic.

Agree, but Bennett needs at least till December I think befor he fights, (realistically should be longer). So I think Johnny should fight 2 or 3 times, then fight Bennett once his brains had a nice rest.

Mabey the guy he was originally booked to fight, then Chriss Williams for his area title (if they are from the same area…), then big Bennett.

'Fisher made short work of his first professional opponent but only had four amateur bouts so his progress will be "baby steps", says Jones, with five more fights hoped for in 2021 before they target titles next year.'

Will be an interesting sideshow this year if he's really fighting another five fights this year. clearly raw, but his right hand definitely whips up some speed and has some prime beef behind it. And a good team.

I though Fisher had about 16-17 amateur bouts?

[margaret thatcher]

his amateur record gets reported differently all over the place.....i guess they couldn't keep the answers straight

first it was that he won his first 10 senior fights by first round ko, then he only had 4 amateur fights, then it's that he's only had 4 senior fights....it's also been out there that he had 10 fights and won 3 by first round ko, that he was 9-1, and that he had 16-17 fights

Bennett should never fight again if he boxes like he did against the ‘Savage’…. Flush Punch after flush punch after flush punch. I believe my IQ has lowered by 10 points just from watching that…. Babic will be spoon feeding Bennett cabbage soup in a couple of years if he carries on like that…..

As for Fisher? Well he boxed better than the other heavies last night. Joyce really rates him, though Joyce is probably to nice to say anything else, Fisher is alleged to have a Big Juggernaut style chin.

[margaret thatcher]

not sure sparring is the right place to prove your chin

isnt joyce his stablemate?

LOL good point…… Boxrec hasn’t listed any amateur bouts for the Bull

[JamesPhilips]

LOL another good point. But sparring a high work rate Joyce you will get hit.

[margaret thatcher]

having top training partners should help though.....unless he's taking too much of a beating in sparring!

[JamesPhilips]

I like Fisher as a personality and fighter. He seems likeable. Has a big wheelie bin sized head that usually means you can take a punch. A lot more interesting that David Adeleye for example who is just waiting to be Kod. Fwank just doesn’t seem to be able to invest well in heavyweights….

[margaret thatcher]

he is a likeable guy for sure, always comes across as respectful and a decent sort, you could see he genuinely felt bad about fouling whittaker, like, oh sh!t mate, sorry!

Right. I really warm to decent likeable characters - hence why Big Joe Joyce has been a personal favourite for some time LOL

It’s his 3rd fight ya bell. I’m pimping him up for an English title shot within the year not the WBA Gold Champion in Recess thing.
Whittaker is shit but it’s better than Fisher fighting 190lbs Latvians for the next 2 years.

[margaret thatcher]

i just dont think whittaker is good enough to be considered a meaningful win for any prospect, especially when he's ballooned up to 260. it meant nothing to me when adelye ko'd him or when webb iced him in 1 round, and it doesnt here. that's all

no doubt that johnny fisher is better than danny whittaker, he proved that. would like to see big johnny in with soko within a few fights. if he can dominate him, there's a real standout result for a prospect.
