    Have to admit I find it hard to follow who the good prospects are these days. I miss ESPN friday night fights and such a fair bit, that used to be a good platform for up and comers fighting stateside. Now you can only hope to see decent undercards for big fights, but they seem more few and far between, maybe just me.

    No.. you're right. It used to be easier to identify and follow up and coming prospects where there was more free coverage on TV.

    Regarding this kid..... oh yeah, 6 foot 7 at 154 pounds with skills and power is an absolute nightmare for any super welter at this point. It's almost unfair. But boxing's about making weight, not height, so.....

    I'm thinking he makes a pretty good splash at that weight (gotta watch that defense, though), before his age and body frame makes it impossible for him to remain at that weight. Eventually he'll move on to middle, super middle, and who knows... if he's still around he's got the height to make heavyweight (not that I think he'll make it that far).

    Oh... he's also a southpaw. Double nightmare for the 154 pounders.

    Have to third that. There seems to be less regularity..that consistency..when it comes to regular shows/cards. Times are more random now, half on this app and half on this social media site etc. There's everything to be said about the consistency of a regular series on the screen.

    Fondura is fun stuff. Definitely has a P Williams thing going and is a complete buzz saw inside. Pretty accurate for reach and hellacious uppercuts. Looking forward to his fight tomorrow night. One of the best things about Showtime is the focus some up and comers featured on the off shoot ShoBox The next generation.

    I would have loved to have seen him as an MMA fighter. With those long ass legs and southpaw stance he could kick his opponent's liver into orbit from a mile away.

    But he'll outgrow 154 very soon and get exposed. Dude has no clue how to utilize his size other than run people over.

    Funny enough he has a 74 inch reach. For comparison Anthony Joshua is the same height and has an 82 inch reach. Even Errol Spence has a 73 inch reach and he's about 5 foot 9.

    But I suppose that doesn't take into account the torso length and length of your legs, which can effectively increase your 'range' by leaning. Interesting cat, worth watching just for the freak show

    I think that this young man has a tremendous future: http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/807163

    He was supposed to have fought last night in Mexico against this guy:http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/248749
    But I haven't heard how, or if, the fight turned out.

    Otha Jones III is 2-0 fought on Friday on the undercard Benn and Cheesman fights. Very talented and has a good back flip.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Morales is now 9-0, 5 by ko. He fought on Friday and won by 2nd round ko, a very impressive outing. He had one pro fight at 16, 4 while he was 17, and four since turning 18 last December. He fights again at the end of August.

    His trainer is doing an amazing job with this young man, and he has another 18 year old undefeated fighter that also won by ko last Friday. In fact, he had 3 fighters on that card and three ko victories.

    Goyo Morales fights on the 23rd on a Golden Boy card. The card is being shown on DAZN and my understanding is that his fight will be shown.

    These fights will also be shown on Facebook on the Golden Boy Fight Night page

    Morales by KO in the 4th. You should remember the name because you will hear a lot from this young man.
