Comments Thread For: Sunny Edwards: I'll Be Back, Just a Bit Disappointed My Eye Went So Early On

Every fighter is 'manufactured'. How do you get a top quality guy except by working on them in the gym? Duran was a scary guy from nothing, the street-fighter from hell, but he still needed Ray Arcel to teach him head feints & how to use the jab. Ricardo Mayorga is probably the least 'manufactured' guy I can think of. He was, like Duran, a street-fighter, &, unlike Duran, he never really evolved into anything more. I enjoyed watching Mayorga but I don't think I'd want loads of guys like that in boxing. Sugar Shane, who had been 'manufactured' in the gym just undressed him.

manufactured refers to matchmaking. a guy with such a mediocre resume normally wouldnt be talked about much or praised to high heaven but propaganda and marketing is a strong force. for proof it works look how you are defending him so vigorously. you must know his resume is trash and hes ducked everyone decent right? if not well he has and you can do the resarch for yourself but just a couple examples. he has no top 5 wins and hes ducked so many fighters. guys like loma of course but even guys that no one should even duck, for example he shamelessly ducked farmer and turned down 5 million years ago, then he ducked machado and stole his belt when machado was the real champ. solid fighters but if you are scared of farmer and machado there is no hope you will take on guys much better than them. thats why hes taking fights that have some sort of angle to them, notable guys moving up, notable guys beign drained, or the classic mexican opponent to get the mexican audience.

When he signed to Matchroom he gave them a list of five world champions and said he didn't care which one they gave him. Ludicrous comment from an embittered poster.

i was talking about tank davis not sure what you are talking about cause tank isnt with matchroom.

It was a fairly clear beating eventually. Kind of like Canelo/Saunders.

Agreed
But I think the Beating was more like Crawford/ Spence
Lol

Still can't figure out what was Sunny thinking... That he was gonna **** with Bam and everything would be fine? What an idiot. Like seriously..

[Boxing2695]

Edwards started pretty well but his lack of power even tho he was landing clean on bam he just couldn't get his respect in that department and bam aswell as being very skilled is very physically strong it seems aswell and he was able to break Edwards down the more the fight went on. Edwards gave the fans a fan friendly fight because he was standing and fighting with bam but with his vision impaired there was not much more he could really do he couldn't evade the shots so he just had to have a tear up and with bam he was always gonna come up second best.

Read his twitter. He answers the question as to why he wasn't moving as much and basically forced to stand and trade

[Mick Higgs]

You gotta wonder if J.C.Martinez might fancy his chance's with Sunny now, I'd imagine the money in the UK would be pretty good!

I was only fishing when I said Sunny was the UK Mayweather, but when I said, he didn't run as much, that was facts.
