I liked what i saw last time out - picked his shots well I seem to recall.
Difficult to say how these guys will adapt to the pro game over time isnt it. Can they hold a shot, does the power carry, do they improve their skills along the way, does the jab become effective, how do they handle the money etc...

From the sparring with Pricey, I think the big man looks the better.

What money?Do you mean when/if he gets beyond British level?If not,his purse will probably be spent before he gets it

Yeah, without Concepions natural power.

It will be a poor time in the UK scene if he wins the British title (IMO).

Mind you, look whose European champion.

I was referring to him, fury and price. I think the way boxers handle the notoriety and money they receive can effect their futures. Some sensibly squirel it away, others are out in clubs and bars giving it the big one.
