Honeyghan’s handlers are not doing him any favors by lining up two quality opponents for his first 2 fights. Teddy Atlas and I agree though, we like a fighter who is willing to step in against good, quality opponents instead of just selecting stiffs to pad one’s record. There is nothing like real ring-experience. You just can’t simulate the hitting and the feeling of being hit in sparring and training. Okay Teddy, maybe the fine folks over at The UK Boxing Group knew what they were doing because their man outscored “Buster” Keeton, 18-0 in the 1st. “Did Keeton come to fight or get your autograph, Teddy?” “That is funny, but the way Keeton is fighting, I would make him pay for my autograph!” Well, Keeton is not much more than a punching bag with arms, legs and a head. Honeyghan takes that round, 20-0. Hey, he finally landed a punch here in the third. Who did this guy beat? I am going to step into the ring and fight whoever this guy, Keeton beat. Keeton is cut and loses this round, 18-2. Well, at least Keeton in consistent - consistently awful. 18-2 again here in the 5th. Yes…um, I mean it looks like Keeton cant get up here at the end of the 6th after being knocked down with five seconds left in the round. Honeyghan finally seals the deal with a (KO6). Man, I have never been so happy and bored at the same time. Happy to see this fiasco end and bored to death by the lack of competitive fighting from one side.

Another good performance for "Ragamuffin Man". I figured Keeton would have put on a better performance and be more competitive but he did show one of his good qualities in being durable and able to take mass amounts of punishment. UK Boxing Group is looking forward to Lloyd's next fight in January.
