Froch/Mack & DeMarco/Broner RbR!

I think somebody like Wale or Lyon would be a decent shout in a couple of fights for Yafai

My thoughts too. The hype is going overboard at this stage, despite the top amateur record he possesses.

What was the Wale/Hall result? Nothing on boxrec.

[Flea Man]

Yafai Vs Hall is fine. No problem stepping up lighter weight guys like this, no one reason if he's that good that he can't fight the 2-4 ranked British bantams now.

Also didn't realise Bellew was in with an Argue Hope he turns out a proper Argie import and makes it interesting

Hall won a wide one on points, was a good fight.

Yafai's situation is something which I think Joshua should take heed of. Kal had been fighting the top amateurs for a long time before he turned over and it tells, he's a class above all these journeyman and isn't even getting rounds from them. He is at Commonwealth/British level already in truth.

I think if Joshua stayed AM til Rio, he'd be similar if not better. His raw talent would be best nurtured against top amateurs for a few years IMO rather than turning pro and having a couple of years fighting nobodies. There's no need to rush.

(I realise that I've gone off on a tangent haha)

Cheers Ishy, hope y'all will forgive me for not jumping on the hype train just yet.

Remember Wale signed with Hayemaker and they called him the "British Margarito"

[Flea Man]

This lad isn't anywhere near as slick as he thinks.

Na. I don't he's nowhere near as good a prospect as SKY seem to.

Eddie said 9.10.

Cardle doesn't look too convincing.
