Finch - I meant whilst he is a little dull to watch at times, I think Boxing fans give him a hard time on his "negative" approach - it is effective.

According to charlie Magri, in the gym Barnie was a real beast who would give it a go with anyone, and in training had a plum right hand, but for some reason would never use it in fights. Had no amateur background to speak of, but was a natural fighter with more talent than he ever showed in the main events.

Was it really ?

Stu, i agree. I actually think his style is quite intriguing as it's different.

James, as someone that trains at the same gym, his "training style" certainly does not mirror his fighting style. And yes, he seems to have a lot of power in that right hand.
