I've also heard that BJS absolutely battered Mendy in sparring. Like, totally fucked him up
Interesting. When was this mate?
BJS is one of my favourite domestic fighters, I'm certain we will see him challenge and win an alphabet title in the next few years.
This was at the beginning of the month apparently (I wasn't there, but heard from someone at the TKO).
I really like Billy Joe as well. Massively exciting prospect with power and pretty good boxing skills. Warren needs to move him along a bit quicker tho
Ancliff really is slipping, needs to think bout packing in cos he takes a alot of shots. i remember seeing him in with joe murray and he was really good.
Watching him now and he's far to easy to hit. Soon as he faces a live opponent or banger he could be in trouble. I agree with the commentators that he doesn't get his hands back quick enough.
He looked bored in there tonight. I'm guessing he gets good sparring, but i think he needs to work on his footwork, get himself in and out better. He's not going to walk everyone down, and thats all he's doing at the moment with the quality of opponents. He needs to get in with champions sparring.
First time I've seen Buglioni, wasn't massively impressed. He shipped a lot of silly punches but to his credit he showed a lot of concentration and just got on with the job.
He's still learning but they need to bring him on slowly.
I fought meikle and dont underestimate him he is a very tough slippery fighter he is also an absolutely top bloke but thats for another thread. To be honest I think i didn't see anything from buglioni I wasn't expecting. He looks the part and has a good level of skill just got a young head on his shoulders I have been told that he is the "next bog thing" and i wish him all the best in being that but he has a lot to learn first. All the stuff about his crown being too much and putting him off shouldn't be a factor because that is a key part of Boxing if your good your not just a good boxer your good at handling pressure and loads of other things. I always say a good boxer doesn't always make a good boxer theres so much more than skill to be counted for.
Anyway frank looks like a decent from fighter and by his interviews a top bloke and I look forward to seeing him progress
but then when i saw him again i wasnt too impress at all .
I think he is a accident waiting to happen, no defense at all, upright with his head up like a beacon and loads up too much, shame really great support, unfortunately when he goes up in level he will be found out, if not before.
It's too early to tell; he was a very good amateur without being the best at his weight. He has a good frame and looks strong. He'll need to be moved steady and can't imagine he'll face a hitter for a few years yet. He has a great following and I imagine he'll be in some decent scraps and earn a few quid.
