Well he got through it.
However, he seemed just to flail. The adrenilin probably got to him and erased most of the training. I am not sure if he was just lucky not to face a more aggressive opponent or whether his flailing stopped Dawson from getting anything going. The knockdown was more due to Freddy being off balance than the punch having a large affect imho.
The other fights were good though.

If you have a bad action, you're career will end earlier.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI think if anything Flintoff's just given more evidence of the adaptability of top sportspeople. He's got strength, fitness and excellent hand to eye coordination and those are characteristics that can be used in many sports.
I just wonder though; if he'd put in the same fitness work as a cricketer then maybe he'd have been a really fast bowler.
I think if anything, if he applied this kind of fitness regime when he was a cricketer, he'd still be one, that's the only difference I could see.
Botham was the same really. First 25 tests, 45 with the bat, 20 with the ball, then 25-50, 40 bat, 25 ball, then he just started believing his own press and went really downhill. If he'd have been as dedicated as someone like Hadlee, he, imo, would have been the best cricketer in the history of the game.

Doesn't sound sensible to me. Didn't he do any amateur fights first?

My prediction, 5th round knocked out with a body shot.
Not sure of why he would want to do this, even if he was to win, I doubt he has the time or the ability to box at a decent level.

Seems weird, I assumed this was one of those charity things but is a professional fight.
