Jamie McDonnell & The British Super Bantamweights.

[Taansend]

First off, is Jamie a Bantie or Super-Bantamweight these days?

But more importantly, the UK has 3, 4 or 5 fighters at 122 who may be all world class (well what serves for World Class these days).

Aside from McDonnell - who appears to be treading water while Hearn angles for a title fight - we have Quigg, who defends his paper title next month.

Then there's Frampton who has generally fought tougher opposition than Quigg & will do again in 2 weeks.

We also have Kid Galahad who win the Euro title last night against a bloke who's about at hard as me.

And who knows how good the other McDonnell could be.

And one last wildcard is Michael Maguire of Peterborough who the Dark Lord said was the most talented fighter he'd ever trained. If he can get his head straight he might (long shot) go somewhere.

When I first saw Quigg & Frampton fight I rated Quigg a much better prospect but then Carl put in some impressive performances (as bourne out by Kiko Martinez) but it was the way Quigg came back against Salinas that impressed me most about him.

I remember thinking the same about the British Light Middleweight scene about a dozen years ago when there was Steve Roberts, Jamie Moore, Richard Williams, Wayne Alexander, Michael Jones & whoever else were looking good.

But they didn't have enough fights against each other & all their careers just kind of fizzled out.

Hopefully the current crop of SBs will produce more fireworks.

IMO he's been a pro too long without doing anything.. Lost to Najah Ali who is a very good skilled boxer but if anyone is to go on and do things they should be beating Ali comfortably
