Eurosport treat - A Young
Posted: 29 Oct 2007, 13:53
Did anyone catch Anthony Young's fight last Saturday live on Eurosport ?
Eurosport's fixture/schedule was up the wall again, but from a British perspective, it worked out well because we got to see one of our lads boxing live on the continent which was very welcome viewing.
I couldn't fault Young's whole hearted effort, but really felt he could have won this contest had he taken advantage of his physical gifts. Perhaps Steve Holdsworth got it right when he described Young as "a fighter, trapped in a boxers body".
Not sure why Michael Aldis wasn't in his corner? He could have proved a crucial difference with the tactics Young chose to adopt. I'm sure Aldis would have urged him to use the jab a lot more before throwing the right.
Anyway, great to see a British boxer live on Europort.
