Come on markk. Why did you he have to KO Latham in the first? I wanted to see him fight more rounds. Well done!!!
we wanted a statement off junior and he delivered. Jnr has had a hard year with some things at home and he has focused o them. He has a wee boy that needed his love and care and he gave that. these things were on Jnr mind since we got back in feb from first usa fight.in fact these things happen 2 weeks out from Dan Tai. I hope you can see what I'm saying here as we all know the last 2 fight s weren't the Junior we know. He trained very harder this fight and discovered his old aggressiveness but it was measured and calculated. He saw the shot so he took it. I honesty think Junior will fight more like this in the future. We also needed to make a statement to the US public and networks. They love seeing this type of fight. the crowd went berserk and wouldn't leave him alone after the fight. most of the crowd gave him a standing ovation after this. Fred latham was a top 5 usa amateur fighter and has had 70 fights and went 10 rounds for a draw against alonzo Bulter. he honestly though he was going win. It was a good fight on paper but junior made it look like a mismatch.
also just to let everyone know. Junior stopped boxing for 3 year due to a mis diagnosied medical condition where he was told not to box or face a serious health issue. this was a bad call from a doctor. its a shame he misesd 3 years of development . In that time he used it well and has a great young family
