Kristian Laight has lost 267 out of 287 fights for example and like Deakin has shared the ring with loads of champions. But he's only ever been knocked out 5 times! that's fucking amazing! Guys like him are picked to give a test and some much needed experience to up and coming guys.
far from being negatively labeled , these guys, Laight in particular deserve more respect than almost every other Boxer out there.
Rant over and @Master , it's not aimed at you, I know you're only putting an article on the forum for info and it's not necessarily your opinion.
Nail on the head. Boxing simply does not function without these guys. Kristian and a lot of other pros turn up in shape week in week out and take new fighters rounds. They make them miss, work and move and debuts or early fights under the lights with the roar and expectation of a crowd cannot be replicated in sparring. They have to deal with a lot of styles and spend their weekends traveling to the home fighters back yard for not a huge amount of money.
