Have you seen him fight? Taking on Dominick Guinn next, he'd better win that in style if he wants to make a splash!
Hard to believe Guinn only has ten losses, it seems like he's been a gatekeeper forever now. His win over Audley Harrison was a laugh though, he ground that one out;D Definitely the only time he'd have ever shared the ring with someone more talented but somehow less determined than he was.
I haven't seen him. he is trained by John Bray- if my memory is correct, Bray was a good amateur and had 20 or so pro fights- and my friend has seen him work out all week. My friend (himself an ex gold gloves champ and pro) says this kid is a very nice young man. He thinks highly of John Bray as well. He doesn't think the fighter works out at a pro standard.
Breazealle won't go too far... he just doesn't have it. Former QB for Colorado State, or something like that. Went to boxing after the football career went South. Just a no-hoper.Quote:

I wouldn't call Dom a "no hoper", I think stopping Devin Vargas, Billy Zumbrun, and taking shots off Nagy Aguilera en route to a UD win shows signs he could be a contender if brought along correctly. He's 29 which at one point in time would have had me saying "It's too late for this kid" but now I think he will do just fine taking his time. He's not going to be a major title holder IMO, but an NABF, NABO, NABA kind of title may not be out of the picture and an eventual title shot may not be out of the picture.
I would say Dom would be along the lines of Ty Fields maybe if he can get past Guinn and maybe Audley Harrison, Malcolm Tann if he loses to Guinn.
