You serious mate, the guy is an average domestic fighter hes the sort of fighter who will probably not even win the British title out right, he is no way near world class.
Pickering landed some fairly decent shots flush on Appleby last night, so at least we know he isn't going to go all Amir Khan on us. He looked big at the weight, and strong compared to the upwardly mobile Pickering (weight, not career!). He's only 21, and he's got time to develop yet. Hard to judge him as Pickering was extremely negative, and when he got into a bit of bother in the 9th he weathered the storm. I'm gonna give him a few fights before writing him in or ruling him out even on the euro stage.
