The one thing I don't get are the claims he has no power. He's knocked everyone out and so far has done it very impressivley. The thing with him improving his strength by putting on muscle is that it could be detrimental to his main attribute which is his hand speed. For me he knocks out all the current domestic level fighters in the early rounds, and agree that he's British champ within 9 months. I think he needs 2 or 3 more fights before starting to take on the other Brits, hopefully against some durable guys so he can get rounds under his belt.

I'm a big fan of this guy, as is probably evident from my posts in other threads. He's one of the few Brits of recent times that I'm genuinely excited about and think could go a long way.

I appreciate that but he hasn't actually KO'd them all, some were TKO's. Can't remember which fighters they were (one was 21-1 with the kilt - Zeller?)

Either way the Ref stopped it and two fighters I can remember were mega pissed off as they weren't in any real trouble. I remember thinking then maybe he didn't hit all that hard, they didn't think so.

That said I think he could do very well. Fast hands and he trys to do more than just throw bombs like so many other HW's. As already said he definitely needs to work on his conditioning, that can only improve him more.

Personally I'd be embarrassed wearing that michelin tyre in the ring...

I accept that about the TKO's, good point. The size he is means that for me he can't not hit hard, if you understand what I mean? And as you alluded to, I don't think his power will ever be his biggest weapon that will be his hand speed and the fact he likes to work the body more than alot of heavies around at the moment. Those three he threw at the weekend were beautiful.

And he's not that fat! He's flabby, but its easily toned up. Jesus, he's nothing compared to that slob Arreola! lol Got to remember he's only 20 as well, so its most proabably 'puppy fat' which he will drop with no problem.

He's a young lad so he should be in great shape.Really needs to concentrate on his conditioning if some one goes past 5 rounds he could get stopped if he gasses out.

He has talent tho dont think he will be a world beater hope iam wrong.

Not sure he really gets keeping distance yet. For such a tall guy, even when a guy is by no means trying to close distance against him he'll close the distance himself. Add to this he keeps the left down. He should watch Vitali fight.

I've only seen two fights for what its worth.

He pushes his jab a bit.

He's fairly quick for a big guy though.

I've only seen his last fight and that wasn't exactly a credible test. Let's see what he's like at British title level first. He does seem to have a good jab on him.
