He dominated even though he got knocked down in the 3rd. In the long term this even might have been helpful because since he was hit by a big puncher but survived, he knows what to do when something like that happens and he did a good job at recovering in that round. He wasn't vulnerable as Mitchell is when he is hurt (and Tupou is a huge puncher). He is a pretty good prospect [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aENx56qG54[/ame]
good test this one, Jennings got up and showed that he can weather a storm, vicious uppercut that ended the fight :good
a work in progress, also showed heart to get off the deck and ktfo a big dude with that viscious uppercut, not ready for the bigtime, but a work in progress i would pit him with travis walker next a big american journeyman type
Not as good as Malik Scott, who completely schooled Tupou. Jennings really shouldn't be getting knocked down by guys like that, Tupou didn't land a punch on Scott.
But Jennings had his first pro fight in 2010 he is a really good boxer considering his young career and it's better for him to get knocked down now than against a better fighter, it's a learning experience
Which european prospect is better? Fury, Price and who else? And Jennings is only fighting since 2010 he can still improve a lot
Fury, Price, Boytsov, Pulev And then that second level with guys like Chisora. All better in all honesty
Scott and Jennings are two completely different fighters though. Scott focuses on speed and flurries, while Jennings fights in and out, throwing straight meaningful shots, and aint afraid to take 1 to land 3. I think the next logical step for both these guys is to fight each other. Im a fan of both, but it's obvious that one guy is taking his career far more seriously, and these other spends more time focusing on looking the part of a gangster. Ah hell, Scott is a G, but hanging with Wilder has me a little concerned with his ambition.:think
I woulda called Boystov a prospect in "07-08". Maybe in 09. But it's clear he has almost intentionally stalled his career. Pulev was a prospect when he turned pro after his long and storied amateur career. He's generally considered a contender in most circles. Fury is obviously bonafide. Yeah he's young, but to call him a prospect after 20 wins is a stretch. Price....a case could be made that he's a prospect based soley off his slow progression. And yeah, with his amateur record, size and skillset, he could be considered the better prospect. But we still havent seen him vs a puncher with a chin and we probably won't until he's fighting an eliminator or for a title. And even if you could consider a former EU and World Title challenger a prospect, Jennings is far better than Chisora.:yep
All great mentions....all great fights for Jennings. Don't know if I wanna see two of my favs, Mago and Jennings fight at this stage though.:think Szpilka clearly ducked Jennings too.....Smart man he is.:thumbsup
