I think Fa needs to be more aggressive if he wants to go anywhere. Going by today's performance - a Takam or Chisora level guy would knock him out in the middle rounds, quite convincingly.
Yeah we fought a conservative fight as junior hasnt really trained since USA due to an injury. The fight was touch and go wheather would happen because of this. We just took a safe path which is not always what the fans want so fully understand. I thought junior dominated him most of fi. Paght and took no risks . Danial's plan to charge in and be agressive was what we bought would happen. I guess in summary last night was only about winning and winning safe

Can't fought Fa for taking the fight. Is he fighting Hunter Sam next?

One cracking fight at welter and a mismatch on the Parker undercard so far.
Good to see Taylor in a fight like this.
Looks like and easy win for Mose Auimatagi Jnr

Good to see that they are starting to fill the under card early. Yeah, give Mose a little more competition. Surely there's some good middleweights out there. Bring back Heremaia!

Hatherley is full of guts and as tough as they come. Gives his all and is good to watch so no problem with him being on the card but with all due respect he does not have the skills to be in with Auimatagi Jnr.
Maybe I'll be wrong but right now I think it's a dumb fight.
