Will be making his debut on the Browne v Towers card in Hong Kong in December.

Thoughts?

[aussie opinion]

great move on hammonds part will move up the pecking order being promoted by hatton..
cant wait to see what he has to offer as a pro...

One hell of an opportunity to align himself with easily one of the classiest promotional outfits around. He's received a fantastic contract which will keep him busy and give him the chance to develop as a professional. Will make his debut over 6 rounds.

Nice, who did Hooper sign with?

A very talented boxer but tends to get lazy during fights. Another great prospect.

i think kickett is back in the gym although i may have to double check that, if hooper has the desire then im sure he will thrive under craig, who is avery good trainer.

Desire slash Hunger slash pull your head in and knuckle down...

Hopefully taking his foot off the gas is something he can eradicate as a pro.

Good move by cam, he should do well as a pro. He is exceptionally fast and has excellent timing so he should be exciting as a pro. I know he has really kicked on in the last few years so here's hoping he has a real go at it. I remember when he was younger Tomlinson use to give him hell at training camps when they sparred, Cam will probably fight at JM, but that might be a good domestic grudge match in years to come.

I don't think Hammond will do anything as a pro, he's more flash than substance. That Canadian boxer beat the shit out of him at the olympics, if you can't outslick guys from Canada then you're not going to have a good time as a pro.

I like his athleticism, as you mentioned. Good footwork and boxes well at range. Most importantly he knows its not going to be easy and he has to work hard for it. I've heard about his gym battles with Will. Cam will have his first fight around 154lbs but he makes it with ease. May well be dropping down to Welter soon enough.

This signing shows that Hatton Promotions AP aren't going to be just a flash in the pan then...?
