I've been asked to do a bit of digging on this boxer who appears at the weekend:

Poor record on paper...anybody know anything about him?

Seen him box once - stocky and strong but not great skills.

Can't remember too much about him other then his name and frame!

I saw him box Danny Norton, Rob's less talented and somewhat reluctant brother.

As I remember it Hoti bored in with plenty of vigor and loaded up in his shots. He gave Danny a decent argument that night as he used his strenth well.

I noticed he was more recently bowled over by Quigley who I didnt really think was a big puncher? Maybe he has lost some desire? Someone must have seen that match on a SN bill?

I had a quick look to see if I had a BritBox report for that fight but couldn't find one..

I saw him earlier this year i cant remember who against i think it was Quigley , on the undercard of a Gomez fight.

Limited skills and as i remember no chin.

He tries though.

Tom Podmore.

there was just a short paragraph on the fight in Mark Porter's report of the show basically said Hoti got knocked out!

Yeah, done a bit of digging. Simeon Cover says he's game but limited - comes for a scrap early doors but can be beaten with movement.

I've passed it and your info on. Thanks all.

I hear he was also Pharoa from 3400 to 3378 BC....don't know if that is of any help.
