    He needs to work on his physique and diet (although not loads of fruit and veg as some mong suggested) and with the right attitude he could go a long way imho. 135 would be ideal but if not then 140 would do but he'd go much further at 135.

    How tall is he? He looks about 5ft 6/7.... Surely he can get down he hasnt any big muscles in any area of any note! Im a fan of his and yours.... But surely someone like an Alex Ariza is worth spending the money on!!

    jeez

    he's had a bad performance (so they say, i haven't seen the fight) they found what they think is the problem (diet) and addressed the issue.

    good signs IMHO fair play:good

    if he had some power then i would say he could go far but with his current power hes gonna struggle and be in hard grueling fights,plus he cuts easy .

    His lack of power is what worries me, technically as a Boxer he's fine, but the lack of power could be a problem.

    Very few Boxers who lack power make it to be good World Champions

    Unbelievable :patsch

    This - Completely. Didnt struggle (looked somewhat flat) and was close to getting Woodhouse out of there in the 12th. Not his best performance but was no way in any doubt (Unless of course you're that idot Parris or that other idiot 'Lirva')

    :rofl:good

    It’s the age-old problem that when someone does better than you expect (and Woodhouse deserves credit for that), you give them more credit than they deserve. Frankie showed lots of nice things – good footwork, great punch selection, smart movement overall…
