I noticed he said ‘nah fuc ked’ to his trainer and he just said the same to Francis Warren.


I was going to post before the fight that I expect an ‘injury’ to happen at some point this year, so I’m he can get back on some kind of program if you know what I mean. It’s so common I just can’t believe people can’t see that this is how our guys get away with it.

Tyson comparisons are embarrassing. Tyson was cutting through much better fighters from the get go.

18 years old.........could be totally different level of powerful in another 5-7 years, deffo an exciting prospect but obviously not gonna be another mike tyson at 20

tbf too, if you look at the ukranians record, he goes the distance vs a lot of decent prospects and tends to win some rounds too. wasnt bad from moses

That Moses 18 last December. Bloody hell!

I quite like him, first time I've seen him. Decent powerful novice with potential.

Bit wide open at the moment luckily the fodder didn't sling any haymakers.

Nice to see a decent young lad from England who has potential. Time will tell no need to rush that young lad.

Also a production manager, he's climbing up the tree quick.

That there are a lot of boxers who take extended periods of time out. Say they have had to have shoulder surgery or knee surgery. Come back with no scars on their shoulders or knees. And look jacked to fu ck compared to before.

Haven’t seen anything but I’d think 10.15-10.30

Also George Warren has just said Zhang was an Olympics silver medalist?

My issue with Moses with the lack of output after the first two rounds. Was relatively slow in pace and operated in short bursts.

Maybe that's a pace thing, but at his age I'd expect him to be throwing at a good rate for 6.

Didn't see anything to suggest he'd be troubling the top 10 down the line, but he has plenty of time.
