He's the business, and i know he was ranked in the Four Nations top ten as an amateur.
I have seen both of his pro contests for BBN and he has beaten up two respected journeymen. He put Shaun 'Slasher' Walton down on his debut in Burton; not many people do that.
Slash might not win many but he always pushes the so-called prospects. Not this time. Shaun said to me after that by the second he couldn’t wait for it to be over!
'The Irish Hunter' followed that win up with another easy win over namesake Pete last Friday in Dudley. Again, taking every session.
Kevin is well-schooled, uses his left well, has good footwork, a solid defence and raises the pace when he feels like it.
One of the best prospects i've seen in a long while.
Tom Podmore.

I believe there is one, sorry I cannot remember the name of it.... but I'm sure its subcription based.
