prospect ???????????

Post by damianhucker1 »

just thought id ask peoples opinion on this guy , hes a local lad having his 3rd and final amateur fight and turning pro to be promoted by matt scriven , locally people are banding him round as at least a future british champion and definately knows how to talk a good fight , but how good is really , my opinion is looks descent to say its only his 3rd fight but is just a hype job , he fights at light middle i think . opinions

my sentiments exactly to be honest , but seems in a rush to go pro due to peoples opinions of him which i think may mean he will only reach a certain level before coming unstuck

He looked good in the fight, but i have outclassed guys like that in ams and i am by no means a propect 3 wins 3 losses.

I think against a good upright boxer his own height tight gaurd he might stuggle.

If someone is willing to take a chance and invest some money in him and he can make a bit then fair play.

But a full am season atleast / entering the novice aba's would do him good you cant pick your opponents then.

good luck to him though.

He looked what he was....an ok amateur beating a below average amateur. Right hand very slow and no jab which is a must in pro boxing, needs to stay am for at least 3-4 seasons 1st. Anotherthing he simply aint fit enough to fight 4x3 minute rounds against a pro, its a desaster waiting to happen at this stage.

I aggree with Teddy, he looked okay against a poor ameter but looked to tier towards the end, he should stay as an ameter and work on his power a bit more, the guy he was against didn't look to have the best ballence but he couldn't get him over, needs to do some weights on those spindely legs.

He looks young he should stay ameter for another year at least and then turn pro otherwise he'll end up as a journyman which is sad becuase he has a good sense of distance and finds the target and timed his opponent well.

:DDD i thought his legs looked like twiglets too , im not certain but i thinks hes around 21 years old so , hes got time for a couple of seasons yet imo , just seems to be in such a rush to go pro , i see him getting a couple of pro wins before getting a loss and turning into a jorneyman , all respect to scriv but as a promotor would he be able to get him the right fights anyway

He aint Bad for a 3 bout Novice but thats all he'd be fighting in that fight..
Could win the under 10 Novice's but i think when he' step he'd be beat..
Could turn over and win a Few against journey men.
There is some of these Journey men that would be to good for him, but thats how they get there work by losing..

There is NO reason for this guy to turn pro other than i presume he can shift a few tickets.Scriven knows this,and if he has his best interests at heart will tell him to have at least another two seasons,novice under 10's etc.

he looked quite good for a 3 fight novice, but a novice he is... the lad he boxed wasnt as good as him granted but ready to turn pro - i dont think so.
when he punched his chin was way up in the air n when he brought his gaurd up his body looked like it had a bullseye on it, it was that open, also slighty off balance n ragged when pressed.
wish him well n all the luck in the world but surely some more experience before turnin over would be better!!
