Hi folks,

Has anyone heard off or seen this guy fight?Hes from Middlesborough and is 9-0. He was boxing in dublin recently, and i got talkin to his manager, but didnt get to see him fight.

Anyone know if hes a decent prospect?

I've seen him a couple of times, he seems like a decent prospect, although only one stoppage in 9 suggests he could struggle later on. He's been on Sky too and the commentary team and pundits there were impressed with him

Lovely style about him this lad, at least from what I have seen.

Nice movement, excellent feints and tidy boxing. He keeps up a good work rate and could probably be moved up into championship class based on skill alone in the near future.

He really is one who could reinvigorate boxing in the North East (building on Michael Hunter's excellent work).

For me he is one of the standout prospects on the domestic scene currently. A joy to watch.

I've seen him in the flesh a three or four times and looks a solid little prospect. I was in Dublin when he stopped Peter Feher in one round with bodyshots, Dudley when he outpointed dangerous and capable Riaz Durgahed and, most recently, when he outpointed roughhouse Nikita Lukin at the National Stadium.

Steve Gethin dropped him quite heavily in his second paid fight, however.

His power doesn't look much, but his boxing ability looks excellent. He seems to enjoy his boxing, is lively and appears to have alot of skills. I'm impressed.
