Savvy boxing skills, Power, Serious Speed, Amazing Accuracy and a little bit of a suspect chin make him a hugely exciting fighter.
Over here he is already attracting huge media attention and his personality makes him a love him/hate him fighter. Hitting the world scene soon.
cool...
would you guys mention the weight division and a short bio: where they are from stuff like that on the guys you mention and when they will probably contend..
i love learning about good prospects ;D
Re: Who is the top prospect-prodigy in boxing?
CC Bilbo
Well I got nothin official but I no a bit about Bernard....
24-0-0 14KO's. Born February 6 1980. Super-Bantam Weight
From Dublin in Ireland he had a pretty outstanding amateur career 119-11, having never been beaten in Ireland. At the age of 16 he was used as a sparring partner for Wayne McCullough.
His Father fought in the Olympics back in the 70's, (Brendan i believe his name is.)
Pro Debut in 2001 in Orville California. His professional training was initiated by Freddy Roache at the Wild Card gym where he was a steady sparring partner for Manny Pacquaio and even JAMES TONEY!!! Had his first 17 (i think) fights in the US.
Returned to Ireland circa 2004, fights live on RTE television and regularly sells out Irelands national boxing stadium and now Irelands point Depot. He has evolved from a real scrapper with minimal defence to a savvy boxer with exceptional movement and jab. Although an orthodox fighter and naturally right handed the Ko victories are nearly all a resultant of the left to the body which seems to be his calling card. He's a pretty likeable guy and his "cocky" approach to boxing has yet to be swayed. Nicknamed " the Irish Rover," has just entered the Rings World rankings at number 10.
Re: Who is the top prospect-prodigy in boxing?
I voted for Berto. But why you didn't include Rey Bautista among the list?
This kid is the next Manny Pacquiao. He's another typhoon that crosses the pacific.
Re: Who is the top prospect-prodigy in boxing?
I voted for Berto, before Friday I would have said
"Baby Face" Julio Cesar Garcia he is now 20 years old and already 40-3-0 (34 KOs) Light Middleweight.
He was on Friday night fights, and refused to fight, it was crazy.............
Before that he was an exciting heavy handed puncher. He's only been a pro for
5 years so that's averaging what? over 8 fights a year?

Ah thanks man...No need for a CC jus tryna promote a fellow Irish dude. He has talent, but iv seen him shaken now twice in the final rounds when his trainer told him to take the round off! Thats what makes him a prospect for the world scene he's very exciting due to that little show of vulnerability.

Re: Who is the top prospect-prodigy in boxing?
Yeah Bautista is a real hot lookin propect. He's pretty much got all it takes, jus needs to develop everythin a lil bit.

I loved his fight with Medina, it really showed Bautista has focus and heart.
I look forward to seeing him more in the future, not sure if he has what it takes
to be a world beater, but there is definate potential there.
Re: Who is the top prospect-prodigy in boxing?
And again...He's exciting because he showed he's human, he can be hurt. And showed great courage to remain calm and fight back.
