Hamzah Sheeraz
Hamzah Sheeraz
Sheeraz looks the business. He's well spoken too. I'm excited about what next year holds for him.
Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
Saw an interview last night on the tube of you .
Articulate, respectful and well mannered and a bloody good fighter ..
Hope he goes all the way and a lot could learn from him inside and out of the ring .

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
he is making the right waves at present but im a bit concerned about how he was being comprehensively outboxed by Bradley Skeete. Not really that long ago either.
Perhaps a slickster/mover would do well against him now.
A brawler gets easily dismantled by him because of his reach and straight punching skills. Could Josh Kelly do well against him?

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
Can we blame the Bradley Skeete performance on abit of weight drain ? How he came in below 11 stone at 6 foot 3 is ridiculous...

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
Bradley was a very good boxer though, had a top ten ranking in a few governing bodies for quite a while. I get it Skeete was older by then.rhino222 wrote: ↑30 Sep 2024, 15:47 he is making the right waves at present but im a bit concerned about how he was being comprehensively outboxed by Bradley Skeete.

Would love to see him vs Kelly. I'd be intrigued.
Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
Hamzah v Kelly would be a good yardstick for them both. If Kelly has real world title ambitions he has to beat Hamzah, maybe Hamzah will move up to SM in the next 6/12 months.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑30 Sep 2024, 16:00Bradley was a very good boxer though, had a top ten ranking in a few governing bodies for quite a while.

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
We're not going to know his level until he fights someone that can deal with his power over the long haul. Impressive as the power and results are I haven't seen much really good boxing yet, but then he's not had to produce it.

He's the latest weight bully, a trend in boxing.

Josh Kelly would get broken down by the jab and stopped. For me, there is still not alot of real professional substance to him, especially at Middleweight. Probably never will be sadly.
Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
I believe 100 % Sheeraz really will be a force at 160 / then 168 and maybe on into LHW in a few years .
Dont see anyone he doesnt beat at Middle and only Canelo at super middle which probably wont happen anyway given their respective trajectories.
What I can see is current belt holders finding all sorts of reasons to avoid him .

I have no knowledge here, do you think that's them just not rushing him (he is only 25)?margaret thatcher wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:36 you say that, yet one of the current belt holders tried to fight him and it was hammy's side that turned it down
I may be talking waffle as I know many others fight for titles earlier just thinking out loud/debating.

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
I'd like to see Hamza step up to Super Middle and fight Pacheco for a shot at Canelo.
Personally I'd take Diego to wrap Sheeraz in a cocoon of horror

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
Should have been DQ'd vs Skeete. Disgusting refereeing. Other than that, I like the guy and really rate him. I think he's ready for Zhanibek now.

This is Frank we're talking about.
He's trying to get a money fight vs. Eubank..
Other than that, he'd probably waiting for a title to become vacant.

I'm still unsure that he really has improved since Skeete.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑03 Oct 2024, 07:52 Should have been DQ'd vs Skeete. Disgusting refereeing. Other than that, I like the guy and really rate him. I think he's ready for Zhanibek now.
While he has looked great, I think he has been carefully matched

The win against Ammo Williams was a big 'un for me.

For sure it was, but again styles make fights and it suited Sheeraz, I'm just still on the fence.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑03 Oct 2024, 08:26The win against Ammo Williams was a big 'un for me.

However he is going to get big fights, and win or lose we will see where he is.

I’m with Coco. I think we have seen a very well managed fighter.

Re: Hamzah Sheeraz
Fwank has a track record of moving his fighters at the right time. Definitely well managed but I think there is a possibility he's the real deal.smiling assassin wrote: ↑03 Oct 2024, 09:00I’m with Coco. I think we have seen a very well managed fighter.

Couple of fights against Zhanibeks leftovers like Bentley and Gualtieri then depending on how he does, be inclined to put him at that level.
Had some issues with Skeete yes but doesn't look like he's got out of second gear in his recent fights. I know they werent top class but the likes of Ammo Williams and Tyler Denny weren't mugs. Short of world class but at least top level domestic he was clearly a level above them.
