Bami can certainly bang but his chin is very questionable.

If Bami would show some patience, he would be a much better fighter. I remember seeing him on a bill, and saying to someone next to me that if Bami used his jab a bit more he'd get the guy out of there. Lo and behold, next round, Bami starts jabbing and explodes an uppercut on his opponent's chin and stops him.

Bami just tends to wing away with huge shots and leaves himself wide open, although he's not world class, I agree his power is sensational, and if it was alloyed to a bit more tactical Savvy, Bami could go a lot further. I don't think he has the balance to ever be a world level threat, but he could certainly reach European level if he tightened up.

I think Lynes vs Bami would be very intriguing. Before last night I would have tipped Bami - but he now just seems to be a raw banger and thats about it.

Lynes isn't great and that is twice now he has been found wanting down the stretch - not saying he has got poor stamina, just needs to pace himself better.

Very intriguing fight.

Great shot by Bami, contender for KO of 2005.

Silva looked really awkward I thought he was going to give Bami a difficult nigh, but then came the knockout.t

I long was the fight scheduled for - Bami looked poor in the first round and I thought Silva might actually cause the upset if it was only a 6 rounder.
