Jarrod Fletcher

Post by knuckles »

Heard on the grapevine that Fletcher is apparently making his pro debut shortly, anyone got anymore information? Hope it's so, been looking forward to seeing this kid in the pro ranks as he is an excitement machine.

Met Jarrod on the gold coast last week and His trainer Steve Deller informed me he may be debuting at super middle but middle weight will be his prefered weight.

I think the name William Hadlow was mentioned as his first opponent, but cannot confirm.

Nice kid and I wish him all the best in his pro carrer.

Fletcher was supposed to debut at least twice before this scheduled bout, the last guy he was debuting against was 26-3 before it was cancelled, i think he backs himself, and with that sort of confidence you would assume he should make short work of Hadlow.

I think the match with 26-3 African was never going to happen. Bit of false advertising IMO, which I promptly removed from the schedule.

Has Jarrod got an opponent yet for the 19th June? I can't seem to find any information.

His opponent has been listed here in BoxRec as Via Aki from New Zealand (8-4-4). Has anyone seen him fight? What's your views for the rest of the card on the 19th at Southport? Main bout is Col Wilson V Alex Leapai.

So what did everyone think of Fletchers debut, very similar style to Geale IMO, and does look the goods.

Props to Coppick, this mean has a solid chin.

loved his speed and confidence, good first up performance. not so sure of the low hands though, they can all get away with it against inferior opponents but there will come a time...........

I was about to say that Unleashed. Great prospect and looked to have all the tools to do well.
I just hope he dosn't pay like Willie did for not keeping his hands up and rellying on reflexes, as it only takes one punch to have your lights out.

my sentiments exactly unleash, I know he fought like that in the am's but you need to make some adjustments when you turn pro, as you say I'm sure he'll find out one way or the another...

This spelling thing is an affectation isn't it? You can spell "technique" but you can't spell "fought." :shame:

Just read an article on Jarryd Fletcher, on his quest to winning Commonwealth Gold, Jarryd beat James De Gale(De Gale went on to win Gold at the Olympics 2 years later and has turned pro with a 2-0 record. In his gold medal match he beat Adonis Stevenson who has a 12-0 record as a pro and is ranked in the top 15 by the WBC.

I'm even more interested now in his carear.
