Not really kept my eye on undercard fights, to comment on who will make it into big time boxing.

Can the forum give me their best uk prospects.

I am told the McCormack brothers will raise a few eyebrows

The McCormacks have good pro styles and I was/am expecting big things from them as pros. Hopefully they’ll live the life but I worry they’ve picked the wrong horse in Probellum.

Gal Yafai has looked class I think in his first couple of fights. I really rate Dalton Smith too. Adam Azim is looking great too. Beating the area champ by stoppage inside of 30 seconds in his fourth fight at the age of 20.

Campbell Hatton

Karol Itauma will surely have a successful career at the top level.

Hopey Price always looks excellent..........i guess he is still a prospect

I wasn’t sold on him initially as I thought his power would hold him back but he seems to be sitting down on his punches more now and I’ve been really impressed with him in his last couple of fights.

Watched Hopey live on the Warrington/Lara card in a good win.
Nothing since?

Think he fought a tuneup on the Ryder-Jacobs card. Was meant to be in a step up fight on the Warrington-Kiko card but got injured I believe.

Best prospect for my betting slip

Dalton Smith looks pretty handy to me .

I like him, and he is 22 so definitely a prospect.
Andrew Cain also looks pretty good so far and has a bit more pop than Hopey- would like to see them play off.

His younger brother is definitely going to be one to watch in years to come as well.

Adam Azim so far so good

i like Sam Noakes but long way too go yet

agree on dalton and sammy

Some good choices, I am surprised there is no comments on my choice of the North East’s McCormack brothers.

They’re both good, Pat especially. They’re probably not being mentioned because they’re not fighting much and few people would have seen the fights they’ve had.

Ive got a feeling that they spent a bit too long in the ams and will find the transition difficult, also being like 25 there is no time to waste.

They prob aren't far off being able to win a Brit title from the getgo, but I don't think they will go much further.

Is Dennis McCann still a prospect

Yeah - I’d still call him that. Been a little underwhelmed with him though in his last couple of fights. He goes on about his love of sweets/haribo loads which may not serve him well long term.

Tommy Hodgson is decent up in the north east.

I always feel like 25 or so is the perfect time to switch over? Assuming you were a World class amateur.

Maybe but you need to be moved quickly without hiccups, and you need to adapt to top class pro boxing without delay. Prob not so much to win a British title but past that yes.
Let's see, I hope I'm wrong.

Andy Cruz

Still waiting for Matthew Ellis to make a comeback.
