Galahad vs Wale - 12/5/12

[D-MiZe]

Like I said with the coverage they're getting on terrestrial TV people would naturally expect them to increase the level of competition much sooner than they have to. I don’t think any of the opponents they've faced so far are anywhere near their level but this will change real soon with the exposure that they are getting.

My main problem is the added pressure that they might face as a result and if they end up being exposed it might be much harder for them to come back from. I believe that there is no substitute for time when it comes to development and the invaluable experience that can only be obtained through time and hard camps and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

I'm not saying that the mentioned guys are destined to fail just pointing out that with the advantages that comes with high levels of exposure there is also a downside that could work against the fighters especially at this early stage in their careers.

Galahad came out of nowhere and challenged Booth. It was obvious Booth was on the slide as showcased in his fight with Quigg, but Galahad's best test was a journeyman in James Ancliff. I certainly didn't expect Galahad to do so well.

I don't think these guys have the sort of pressure someone like James DeGale does and he's not going to deliver either.

Yeah that's true just imagine if Anthony Joshua wins gold this summer. I mean he already has a 5hit load of pressure on him now to preform and he aint even in the pro's yet

I think Galahad's fight is for the WBC intercontinental belt against Wale so it could be tough scrap for him. But yeah Jason was on his way out, still a decent name on his resume I guess.

Good performance from Galahad, Eubank Jr still has a lot of work to do.

He looked good. I wish Frampton dumped the mexican and took the Kid on.

Eubank jnr looked alright too. Im not expecting to see much from him for another 12 months
