Clarke is going nowhere. He's struggling to make a dent in a guy who doesn't even look like he should be a pro.

But even if you take damage or anything they suspend you.

With his age and Am experience, Fraser needs guys on the second Tier who will actually try and fight.
Otherwise he will be too old by the time he gets a chance at a title.
The division moves like a glacier these days.

Frazer should end it ASAP, Espindola is breathing with his mouth and has an injured arm, from what I have heard in his corner.

Not to mention the long periods of silence and nothing happening in between them, really poor production. Even the semi pro fight nights I go to are more entertaining for the crowd than this. And people have paid to watch this dross!JamesPhilips wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:24 3 lard asses in a row against prospects. Not a good advert for boxing

Can't see Clarke doing much on that evidence, should have had him out of there long before that if he is being serious . 6 rounders like this are a waste of time

It's far too early to tell. I'm only enough to remember getting slated after his performances against Ossie Ocasio and Dan Murphy.

Yeah, pretty dire so far. Let's hope the last 3 fights on the bill overshadow it.

Frazer should be putting guys like that away. You learn nothing from low level sparing like this.

He's 31 and a top world amateur. Going rounds is a waste of time, you do that in the gym.
He should be going for the British like now.
Sink or swim, and from the looks of him tonight - sink.

10 fights to fight for the British title according to Shalom just then. What's he going to learn in more fights like that ?Put him in with Wardley now otherwise he's going nowhereKiwiRider wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:43Far to early to tell?keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:38It's far too early to tell.

Too early in his pro career I meant. Just because he's 31, doesn't mean he will adapt to the pro game faster. Let's judge him when he fight someone with a chance of winning.KiwiRider wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:43Far to early to tell?keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:38It's far too early to tell.

That would be good.
Gorman, Dacres, Fisher, Wardley 3xBrit/Euro level...
Then go.
Way to early to write him off, he's huge, heavy-handed and well-schooled. I say Good British champ, wins a Euro, loses the big ones. Decent career.

Joyce set the template on how to match an ageing amateur stand out when he fought Lewison in a scheduled 10 rounder on his debut, I thought after the last can that Clarke swept aside that Shalom would've learned his lesson

I get that. But more nights like tonight mean nothing, and do nothing for his development. He didn't even need any defence tonight when there was nothing coming back at him, that's actually worse for his developmentRe: Round-by-Round: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith - 21 January 2023

We agree on that. I just don't think we can judge his pro career off his performance tonight.KiwiRider wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:50keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑21 Jan 2023, 15:46Too early in his pro career I meant.

Clarke wasn't impressive last time out either. SKY are so heavily financially invested in him they can't risk a decent match anytime soon.

Hasn’t Joe earned millions by now?
He comes over really well and should be doing commentary or something, not taking heavyweight punches to the head anymore. I wish he’d retire.
