Making his pro debut on Monday. Seems to have gone under the radar. Anyone think he can do any damage as a pro?

Buncey confirmed that they would be showing the Nevin debut on Saturday night's show.

Any idea what time Nevin's and Kavanagh's fights will be shown, it's on the East Coast and I've got a late start so I might stay up if they're on at reasonable times.

I agree, no disrespect to Luke Campbell but I think Nevin will have better pro career despite his losses to Luke, I love his counter punching, i'm convinced he will be a star.

He was impressive last night. He looked very comfortable and was picking some excellent shots. The kid he was fighting was tough and did well to last the distance.

He was very relaxed in there for a pro debut and beat his opponent up for the entire 6 round duration. Would like to have seen tighter, straighter shots for the most part though; he relied too much on his wide hooks for my liking.

Still, an overall highly impressive debut. Really looking forward to following his pro progress..

Not sure exactly but I think he had three seasons in it so over ten I guess. One with the Lionhearts and two with Paris United. He got to the final one year and either won or won the individual comp I think.

I think I seen him outclass Douda Sow in it. Sow was unbeaten as a pro at the time.
