I've only seen his debut but for me he'll be the best of the Cubans.G0mez wrote:Luis Garcia sparred Froch in Ireland.
Carl said he was fast and skillfull.
I like the look of Chisora, still a bit ruff around the edges but I'm sure he will improve this year. It will be interesting to see what Fury does when he is in shape, even though he was in with a stiff on his debut he did look to have hand speed & accuracy, I really think he has a lot of potential.Old bones Ian wrote:Well i'll be watching the new heavyweights with interest, I'm not saying that they will get to championship class, but its always good when we have a batch of heavies developing at the same time.

good post dioufyDioufy wrote:He wasn't overly impressive against Spartacus, but to take on Steve in only his 8th fight, and to stop him, is an amazing feat. Yes, he looked tired and on his way to defeat at one point, but it was an amazing learning curve, one that will only benefit him in the future. The knock-out of Anderton was quite sexy too, but Anderton isn't that good going off his record. I think the next logical step for McIntosh will be Oakey for the English title - Oakey is as tough as nails, but can be out-boxed. I guess we'll also have a decent chance to compare Cleverly and Danny. But one thing I do know, is that Brendan Ingle thinks he's something special.Neri wrote:I wasn't overly impressed with McIntosh versus Spartacus, he got the job done but looked very easy to hit. I think Cleverley would play with him. Great knockout of Anderton though.Dioufy wrote:Kell Brook if he looks after himself, and Danny McIntosh.

He needs to push on now though doesnt he? He has had a real slow burn pro career so far. For such an exciting banger that is a shame. He has had out of the ring problems and was upset by Conception but I would hope to see in high profile cross road fights during the next 6 months - unleash the bull!Neri wrote:On a lesser scale than the previous names mentioned, maybe this could be a big year for Matthew Hall. I could see him making some good progress by the end of the year.
Agree with this - I thought the only thing he was lacking was a punch then he delivered a great one in his last win. He is a real prospect.Noelsy wrote:David Savage Jnr Super Bantemweight 5 feet 11 massive at the weight he will do well in 2009 he will give any superbantem in Gb a run for there money
OK Dioufy - I have ribbed you in the past about Barker and Jantuah. Time to call it and day and head fo some constructive debate.Dioufy wrote:Thanks.
But another thing why I think he will be one to watch in 2009, is that he's 28-years-old and needs to matched quite tough. I would definitely go down the Haymer or Oakey route next, and if he comes through that, a fight for the British title would be nice.
Henry Coyle will certainly be one to watch for excitement, but talent wise I'm not convinced he's going to amount to much.metropol wrote:I would say although in the very early stages keep an eye on dean byrne.
Other ones i will have an eye on sutherland, brook, coyle (very exciting but wild),and the cubans in cork now training over in newcastle. Theyre in action at the end of this month in a small hall card in cork.
