Hughie fight was first on I think, ended hours ago

djhaxman

Fair enough, thanks.

This isn't a bad fight at all here.

Boxrec has it a ko 1st round for Hughie

Frankie Lee

Decent fight there, Galahad isn't top class but will provide competitive opposition against the likes of Quigg and Frampton. With Kiko Martinez being a world champion you'd never know however.

PrettyBoy

Did Hughie win?

Frankie Lee

Not a brilliant round for Fury, they should take their time with him.

Galahad will provide no opposition to Quigg or Frampton and I mean that in every sense of the word. Hennessey was talking ****e about Frampton there, mentioning if he's willing to defend the European against Galahad.
Hennessey knows full well Frampton's next fight is an IBF title eliminator and Carl will be facing the winner of Martinez vs Mathebula after that fight, so Galahad won't even enter the equation......but no doubt Mick and the boys from Sheffield will claim he's ducking.

If Jazza Dickens was able to counterpunch Galahad to the point he was ahead late in the fight what will Frampton do ?, it wouldn't be anyway competitive and Quigg would break Galahad up in a different manner, bursting him with bodyshots.
Martinez himself would brutalise Galahad, who don't get me wrong is not a bad fighter at British level, but he's nowhere near these guys at European and World level.
He's also been made to look a bigger puncher than he is in his last few fights, in with guys who couldn't deal with the speed and angles and tonight against a guy who just gassed. The reason Galahad turned it round is because Dickens had been struggling with the pace from about the 6th round.

Dickens while doing well early trying to counterpunch Dickens wasted huge amount of energy slipping and loving, he may have been better served coming forward and pressuring Dickens. Galahad's losses in the amateurs were caused by fighters coming forward in that manner.
Anyway I may seem very negative on Galahad here, he's a good fighter, very quick, moves well, uses range very well and has great stamina, but he'll never be World Class.

I pretty much agree with that, I meant when he does fight the likes of Quigg and Frampton he will provide a decent fight but will fall short.

It's this bit i disagree with, I think there's a good chance he doesn't win a round against either and gets stopped in 8 or less by both. But then again that could be me rating Frampton or Quigg higher as opposed to thinking less of Galahad.

Galahad, Eubank Jr are both going nowhere, Frampton and Quigg would easily stop Galahad in 6 rounds, Eubank Jr is very average indeed have watched him since his debut and not once have i looked and thought there is a future world champion, doubt he will even get to Fringe world level either
