Claggett 'not as fresh' but 'still a danger'published at 21:27 BST 30 May
Azim v Claggett
Steve Bunce
Boxing expert on BBC Sport
I don't have a single problem with Claggett [as an opponent]. Is he as fresh as he was three years ago? No, but no one is as fresh as three years ago once he's got their sight on the door.
Is Claggett still a danger? Yes. Could they have picked 30 or 40 fighters who would be easier? Yes they could have. I think this will be a good one.
I spoke to Shane McGuigan about three weeks ago and he said that this guy is ideal because they knew he would give them rounds. Even if it was five or six rounds, it would be five or six really good rounds and sometimes that is what you need. You don't want a 10 or 12 round shutout where he doesn't have to break a sweat. We want to see Azim look good and wouldn't it be good if he can get the stoppage?
