He started at 21 which is late if you wanna be a world champ but not that late to develop relatively quickly ( to a certain level)

He is obviously a pretty decent athlete as well.

Trouble he has that if he gets more serious and wants to go legit, then he has to cut to 175 as any half decent cruiserweight will eat him. He has had a decent size advantage over all his opponents so far so unless he want to be the king of 190lbs he needs to cut
So you’re backing up what I’m saying?

Mickey : yes :) I am agreeing he is more well trained, has committed more time in the gym and performs at a higher level than most people have assumed, he also seems to perform well under the spotlight ( all be it his fights have been brief and one way traffic so far )

to be fair his brother was saying that people should stop treating him just as a YouTube boxer as he is above that level

Of course there are many levels between where he is now and where a top professional is.. but to keep classifying and matching him as if he is a “train for a couple of months for a white collar type event” fighter is wrong .

That lad from Geordie Shore who competed in Bellator was the same kind of thing, he went with one of the top British MMA camps for over a year, looked like he got right on the gear too, and then he got matched with dudes who were still basically amateurs in all but name, and he was manhandling them (he always looked a weight class higher, all the classic home fighter matching was there). One of them still fkin did him tho :lol: same kid who beat Kimbo’s son looked like he was about 15lbs lighter

i wonder how much time combined his 3 opponents have spent training purely in boxing. would any of his 3 opponents have beaten your standard club show novice am?

time to step up and fight someone who has been a boxer for at least a year and won before :box:

They are going to march him at a level where he will win and keep the gravy train going.

I'd keep him away from Andrew Flintoff though

He said it’s his highest purse, which was a good thing, but at the same time, it was sad.

Fournier,. The.billionaire, is now 9 for 9 with 9 ko's.

Given the quality of opposition he has faced he needs to be stepped up to title level soon

Fornier strikes me as a spoofer who rents his cars / pads and lives on debt.

Jake Paul said the fight sold 1.3m. Generating around $65m in revenue.

Some have questioned how figures are released so quick, but hey, this is Fite tv, not cable.

Anyways, who knows if the numbers are true. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they are legit.

Charlie Zeleoff had more professional boxing experience than all of them combined, it's a freakshow, a horrific freakshow that makes millions. Shit for boxing and that didn't look too good for MMA either
