Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
How many times has Darren been written off. Anwar was the favourite. Hamilton has been underdog in his last 3 fights but comes out on top. How far can he go?

Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
If Khan loses again, maybe a homecoming fight against Darren? Darren's strength might make a difference. He might not win, but he wont be stopped.
For those who have never met him, Darren is huge!
His upper body is bigger than a lot of fully fledged Middleweights.

Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
He is doing very well and looks a very difficult man to box; he has the upper body of a middle but if he has the legs of a lightwelter then does he drain to make the weight? He has been doing really well and hope he keeps on doing well though he doesn't look to have the punch to move (and stay) at euro level though I hope I'm wrong and Anwar can come again though he faded late.

For me Anwar is still a class boxer I just think other boxer under estimate Hamilton till they get in the ring with himpalooka wrote:He is doing very well and looks a very difficult man to box; he has the upper body of a middle but if he has the legs of a lightwelter then does he drain to make the weight?

His legs are stick thin, but strong no doubt. From a distance he looked like a 13st man based on his upper body, and I am not joking. I was shocked when I realised it was the 10st champ.

Great win for Hamilton and a great success story; being homeless and all. Here's hoping he goes from strength to strength!
Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
He deserves a voluntary defence in his home town of Bristol to claim the Lonsdale outright just needs to have a TV deal. I hope he can make some money out of this game to secure himblack panther wrote:Great win for Hamilton and a great success story; being homeless and all.

Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
He's a good fighter but I think he'll struggle above domestic level, strength will only take you so far. Hopefully he can win the Lonsdale belt outright, doubt it'll be in Bristol though because of the lack of venues, maybe the Hand Arena where Fury fought Maddalone since it's local.
There's plenty of options for the 3rd defence:
McCloskey
Daws
The winner of Singleton-Nurse
Jenkins that won Prizefighter last night
Willie Limond for the British and Commonwealth titles.

Maybe too soon for Jenkins but he definitely will be a star in the futureexpe wrote:He's a good fighter but I think he'll struggle above domestic level, strength will only take you so far.

Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
Get him in with Wiile Limond, double title fight and a winnable one as well.
Michele Di Rocco holds the Euro title, and i can't see Hamiltons team having the money to get the Italian over here, and it would be a very differcult fight for Hamilton away from home.

Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
I don't think he's that much better than British/fringe Euro level, but he's good at what he does and has impressed me with just getting the job done, no frills just imposes his will on the other man and has good strength and stamina.

I was impressed with him against Anwar. He seems an awkward opponent, strong and hungry
Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
And I think it is good he fights people who people think should beat him because it motivates him.Final round wrote:I was impressed with him against Anwar. He seems an awkward opponent, strong and hungry

Re: Cinderella Man Darren Hamiliton..How far can he go?
Hamilton has got the determination of a champ and skill to go with it, as we have seen already,
But he has the strength and muscles of a weight lifter.
Swap a few pounds from his shoulders, to his legs
and you will see a more skilful with sharper power, then he is already..
He can go onto be European camp..
