Very Good Heavy Handed And Good Footwork And Very Good Team Around Him. Injuries Permitting Wil Go Far. Adios

He has very quick hands and switches very well between head and body and can drop opponents with either and is a very good finisher when he has his opponent in triouble, not a one punch KO artist as he tends to overwhelm his opponents with good combinations but he has been really unlucky with the injuries he has had, but I expect he will be knocking on the door for a British/Commonwealth title challenge within the next 12-18 months.

Early days but he looks very promising.

in his last fight against Hammond he looked sensational, definitely the highlight of that bill for me.

In my opinion he will go the furthest out of "The Olympians" Needs to leave Frank Waren though! hasn't even got an opponent for saturday yet, probly some journeyman. Billy Joe needs testing, he is ready for a big step up in class!

It will come mate, Billy has stated he will be fighting his career at Middleweight not SMW.

He is fighting on 28th against Gary Boulden for Cental Area title so it is a step in right direction, not sure why he is on twice in two weeks though

He is a very good tallent. I think he is fighting too heavy though and would like to see him as a middle as his size would suit a lot more.

Still very young and loads to learn, but hope they start to step him up each fight now and we see more of him.

i liked the look of him also ...looks very talented being moved slwoly but he is young.

time will tell i guess but for talent i think he has the most out of the olympians imo.

I would be suprised if he didnt end up winning a world title at some point

Cheers pal! didnt know that Atleast he's having a little step up in class and this saturday must just be a keep busy fight. The Boulden fight is November 5th undercard of Katsidis-Burns.
