Ah right, no bother mate. I only heard of Hepper last year and lived in the same town all my life, wasn't sure how the first fight went but ppl said it was close. Clear winner second time around so no disputes there then.

Had a look at the second Hepper fight on youtube, based on that Fox isn't beating any of the Top 10 in the country anytime soon. He's wide open to the right hand, just drops his left when he throws a right hand or punches are thrown at him, everything seems to be done in straight lines and he throws no body shots. He's also overly reliant on the right hand, jabs with the left and throws the occasional left hook but that's it. He was outboxed for the first 4 rounds by Hepper, until he landed a right hand, appeared to shove Hepper over and then the referee jumped in early when he started to unload while Hepper was on the ropes, again wide open to not just the right hand but any punch as he was swinging wildly with both hands.

That was last year. Have you seen any of his fights since then? Come back when you know what he can do and well if you don't think he's that good you jump in the ring with him and see what happens. Why don't you watch his recent fights? Like when he ko'd mark mckray, it was on ko tv you see it???

I doubt he's improved much by beating a couple of journeymen, I chose to watch the toughest fight he's been in that was only 9 months ago, I think I can make an accurate judgement based on that fight.

I'm not a boxer, I'll happily admit that he'd knock me out, I'm comparing him to the fighters you want to see him in with and those at the level you think he's at.

I don't watch KOTV but I'd happily watch the fight if you would provide with footage of it since it's not on youtube. Mark McKray's a journeyman and a pretty average one at that, he's yet to go in with a top prospect and the only noticeable fighter he's faced is a shopworn Carl Johanneson who stopped him in 6.

No being funny but judging by his record and opposition Rees and the rest would absolutely steam roll this guy

Welshjack- No chance! Rees or crolla wouldn't put a dent in Gary. He will get the chance and you will see.

Frankie Gavin- Gary is a lightweight but they were going to fight at light-welter, and selcuk looks slower now than a few fights ago, I think he would have beaten him

Are we being punked here? I know he is your brother etc. but Rees is a former world champion and his last fight was against a future legend and now is on the road to fighting Ricky Burns when he beats Crolla, while Gary has been fighting against fighters with negative records and even got knocked down and scraped a win against a guy with 9-100+ record.
