Haggerty
Bit out of touch these days so not seen him fight yet. Reading up about him Sam-A is a significant scalp even if is he is past his prime/fighting at a heavier weight. Looks like he was lined up to fight Harrison which would be a big domestic clash. Good to see Fairtex keep producing great fighters.
Been a fan of the One series for a a while now, some top drawer stand up fighters on there. Yod is past it now but Petrosyan is still unbelievably good. Haven't seen it on there in a while but channel 64, the sports channel on freeview did have some coverage.
Still not there with MT rules with 4oz gloves yet as for me it shifts to much focus on the hands which traditionally are low scoring weapons in A class rules. It also so makes things more cagey so styles get ruined but i can see the appeal for non traditional fans.
The weight/hydration management is a big step forward. I think team GB amateur boxing banned sweat suits etc and were working on fighters training at fight weight and you can see the results they've been getting.
