It was quite obscure, and he was met with bemused indifference from most of the crowd. To be fair I may have never heard of him if he hadn't fought Calzaghe, I'm not as big a boxing follower as many on this thread.
Yep, a shame for him that it all seems to have fallen apart after one hammering. Must confess that the Calzaghe fight is the only time I've seen him though, so I have no real clue how he looked before and after that.
