I think it was a completely uncalculated risk, all risk & no gain. What's he gain by beating a welter who outweighs him by 6 lbs & has no resume? Hell, Glover only won his last fight because Siddique didn't get the hint that the ref would disqualify him for hitting around the beltline, & just box his way in a fight he was winning. Stupid choice, although my understanding is he was a bit unlucky. Still bloody stupid with a Murray fight on the horizon. Then again I still hope he beats Murray, who comes across as an unprofessional little shit to me.
