Even though I predicted Johnny Fisher would win last night, I really wanted Michael Pirotton to cause an upset.

Unfortunately, the Belgian is feather-fisted. But if he had slightly heavier hands, then I think he would have stopped Fisher.

In my view, ‘The Romford Bull’ has shown no signs of improvement over the past three years.

I also do not consider Fisher a big puncher. For sure, he’s capable of stopping journeymen and perhaps one or two badly shot veterans, but he will struggle against any reasonably competitive domestic-level opposition.

I expect Fisher’s handlers to protect him with the lowest-risk fights against journeymen and veterans until a big-money opportunity allows them to eventually cash in on their investment.

Johnny Fisher is too old to improve his boxing skills significantly. He lacks stamina, which means he’s basically a five-round fighter, and he also lacks the one-punch knockout power needed to compensate for his many limitations and turn likely defeats into wins.

He has already reached his ceiling and, at best, is a top-15 UK domestic level fighter.

It appears that people are prepared to pay to see him headlining events fighting against other people of his relatively low level, so no reason to pack it in until that isn't true any more as he's no more likely to get hurt fighting the likes of Piritton than he would be if he was much better and fighting much better people. Just don't go fighting anyone good.

Some of the undercard fights were good.

agreed. I watched the first three on YouTube and was entertained. seemed more even than the usual can vs prospect bilge we normally see

I've seen a few of these now and the fights are pretty much all evenly matched.
Not many knock over jobs or complete weight mismatches that you see every time on Matchroom or Queensbury cards.
Zuffa are doing something right.
