The draw at 10/1 is a good bet I reckon, they won't want Flintoff to lose and he won't be good enough to win, draw suits everyone

not seen him in action but i wouldn't write him off . a tenacious sportsman with a proven winning mentality could be hard to beat ?

The 23-year-old American was hand-picked by Flintoff's mentor Barry McGuigan and brings with him an unbeaten record after three professional fights

Hardly a proven fighter... could go either way

As others have posted I don't think it'll be one sided necessarily, but can't say I know enough about boxing to know how important 'match experience' is.

Be interesting to hear what Beedub has to say on this, but I figure if Flintoff loses then it's no disgrace, he's not a boxer... if the other guy gets knocked out then it'll be a bit embarrassing. For that reason I wonder if the opponent will be a bit nervous about getting caught and be on the defence? Could either end up being a bit of a boring fight or could end up with an upset. If I were the other guy I'd be trying to wind Flintoff up a bit and make him come in swinging, then (if the guy really is good enough) have a crack at his chin.

That said, "come on, Freddie!!!!"

well he managed a "win" but from the clips i saw freddie looked a little bit "bar room brawler " in the early stages .
fair play to the guy though , nowhere to hide when you get through the ropes & takes some bottle whatever level :wink:

He was a bit of a slapper with the right.
