Ben Odamattey - any help.

Post by stujones »

Anybody remember this guy performances vs Gomez and Greaves.

Were these fights televised, the Hatton vs Pederson bill is probably the only Hatton bill I do not have on tape (yet, Steve!). Was the Gomez fight shown, remember Michael was going through a good spell back then.

And what of his effort vs Carl Greaves?

I notice he drew against Eric Odumassi, which was decent form - but then lost (heavily, according to the card) to Greaves.

Been asked for a scouting report, because he might be lined up to be the comeback opponent for an ex world champion - and was asked my opinion of him.

Was he a Southpaw, did he offer any resistance vs Gomez/Greaves - was he any good?

Any help would be appreciated.

They didn't show the fight. I do remember them showing a brief, almost pointless highlight at the end of the night, with Gomez walking toward the camera in slow motion, and Odamattey being tended to at the opposite side of the ring. He looked out of it, if I'm remembering it right.

oddamatey was orthodox - i cant really remember much except him beiing forced back to the ropes and getting pummelled by gomez. Seemed fairly tough tho - he went down to get away from being punched as opposed to being knocked down.
