Anyone know why he doesn't fight very often. He had a good win against Skelton in his last outing....

I could have swore he was due to have an English title defence against Ian Lewison on one of the Copperbox bills. Never happened tho and I don't remember any explanation coming out.

Not sure if Steve or Olivia Goodwin can shed any light on whether that fight as they (I believe) still represent Lewison.

I guess he likes to periodise (sp ?) his weight and training so that he peaks a couple of times a year for a fight.

It would be difficult to maintain that condition all year round.

Yeah staying in good condition all year round would be daft for an athlete.

Or even being in condition for a couple of nights a year.

Hahaha great shout.

His conditioning is embarrassing to the sport in my opinion.

Hardly anyone could get in condition to do 12x3s even once a year. And I include a lot of pro boxers in this.

I like how McDermott seems in interviews and on the television; he is an interesting person and he boxes far better than his physique would imply.

He barely manages one fight a year. For some reason he doesn't want it I am sick of him we want fighters who fight this division needs to be moved on Mcdernott just slows everything down.
