Jackiewicz is on a hell of a roll

I don’t know what his deal is, but he seems like one of those journeymen fighters who has suddenly beaten a number of solid opponents lately.

On the prospect front, Tyson Fury also won his third pro fight, winning by 2nd round TKO, although his 15-20 opponent was a step down from the 21-3 opponent he faced in his second pro fight.

Karo Murat beat Christian Sanavia in a fight between SMW fringe contenders, retaining his European title. 19-0 Murat is probably in line for a title shot soon. Sebastian Sylvester also came back with a win on that card.

Cuban HW prospect Mike Perez beat Zack Page. Perez might be one to keep an eye on. He’s not as technically proficient as fellow Cuban Odlanier Solis, but he’s actually staying in shape and is a real bulldozer in the ring.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Rogan/Skelton

was for the European title, not the British title.

Danny Williams is the current British title holder, having defended against McDermott in his last fight.
Interview with Skelton pre-Rogan;

It is mentioned that he is/was European champion…..

Does the fact a boxer doesn't switch weight divisions during their career detract from their overall P4P ranking?

Cos I'd take Hagler over most heavies in history, P4P, and also over "6 weight world champion" Oscar De La Hoya, and Marvellous Marvin never really messed about with his weight, did he?
