US HW Prospect Makes Pro Debut

[oogiebe]

Jeremiah Milton made his pro debut. He's one to watch but he has a ways to go.

I wonder when Ricky Torrez plans to go pro

[margaret thatcher]

Reminds me of Duncan Dokiwari

Or if. Not a lot out their on his plans. I search him up every now and then, but nothing yet. I think he'll be best served in the ams though. Some fighters don't translate well to the pro game.

[margaret thatcher]

Tbf he seems to get a lot of stoppages in the ams and has lots of good wins, including beating Jah and the American 2020 Duncan Dokiwari. Winning international tournaments too. Smaller side though

Well there's a name from the past! LOL!

This guy reminds me of a very young Shannon Briggs. Not sure about the power though.

no doubt. Torrez is an impressive amatuer with a am style. Time will tell what he ends up doing. Maybe he wants gold and is hanging for the potential olympics next year.

[margaret thatcher]

What is so am about his style? Doesn't really stand out that way stylistically to me and has tons of stoppages by am standards

[margaret thatcher]

Being only 21 you may be right about him hanging around until 2021

[oogiebe]

What is so am about his style?

Throws lots of punches; lots of movement, but not very smooth. Don't see that extending over more rounds. He's smallish and herky jerky. Don't see that making adjustments to the pro game. would need a lot of training working behind a jab which he doesn't show.

[margaret thatcher]

Hmm, don't really see all that myself, seems rather negative appraisal lol. And for being small he's hurting and stopping lots of guys, and winning at high levels. Certainly I think he's got more potential than 26 year old Milton here, but we'll see what happens

[oogiebe]

Torrez has the experience and credentials, but he won't be anything special as a pro. Milton probably won't either. Just shared the lad's pro debut. Milton only been boxing three years.

[margaret thatcher]

Well, if the current top US SHW am aint up to much, and the guys coming up are dudes like Milton and Coffie and Shaw, let's hope that Jah delivers

Any good usa prospects aside from jah

Not that I'm aware of. Sad state of affairs. Although I'm still hopeful that Tristan Kalkreuth fills out to HW. He's still only 18.

[margaret thatcher]

Well dude weighed in at 193 last fight so maybe he's getting there

If you haven't seen him, go find him on YouTube.

[margaret thatcher]

Considering he's been up to 193 at 18 and the tradition of muricans not being too fond of cruiser (or at least staying there for long) dude could be up at hw not even that long from now

havent really seen much of him, i will check
