I'm extremely disappointed in his level of apposition. yes I understand his is only 19 and
is only in his 8th bout but fighting a 36 year old fighter with a 2-1 record is unacceptable in my view.
The kid has talent but give him a little bit of a challenge

Becoming accustomed to fighting in a different country with all the hassles that brings in terms of travel and preparation is a challenge in itself. Plenty of time for the kid to move slowly through the ranks.

I get what you are saying. Glen Williams doesn't seem any kind of fighter, there is nothing to suggest he has a chance against Leo. Saying that it's early days for Leo and he hasn't really beat anything yet in his early years of pro boxing.

It's a selling fight to the US public I guess and let's be fair to the kid he's only 19. Take it step by step and don't rush the lad.

Im not talking about putting him with a top 50 or even a top 100 fighter
But I'd like to see a top 200 fighter.
Fighting no hopers is doing nothing to develop this young man

Atang did as expected. I agree, the opponent was terrible.

Johnny Fisher would make a decent opponent next.

He's a teenager who has been a pro for 1 year & 2 weeks.

He doesn't need to be rushed.

Let him keep trucking on this year & next year he can fight a Tommy Welch, Matty Harris or a Nick Webb.

Good shout for Webb or Welch. Peter Fury won’t put Harris anywhere near him based on last night’s performance from Matty he couldn’t get a move around opponent away.
