What are your impressions?

He seems a talent out of the past best Hamed mould. He has a brutal right hand but is open to the jab and straight right hand. His only semi decent opponent Brian Magee was a solid journeyman boxer and gave Froch fits until Froch caught him in the 11th.

Taylor and Inkin openly ducked him but that is no excuse for fighting the worst Europe has to offer usually only giving a few weeks notice. IMO should have been stepped up 5 fights ago when Bika was mebtioned since then fights with Mundine, Inkin and Zuniga have fallen through and i will use the term real cans brought in from eastern europe.

Could win a title but a good boxer would easily outpoint him. And he has 2 knicknames in the UK one is the "slowworm" as he calls himself "the Cobra" yet was unwilling to fight anybody and has taken till 31yo to secure a Pascal fight. And "The Froak" --- the term "Froak" means to avoid and Path of least resistance.

Good to watch little substance and he is always belittling great fighters.
