    Lot to like about KG.
    Is he catching up with Quigg and Frampton..well, closing the gap anyway?

    Not seen an awful lot of him but what I have seen of him he looks very good, decent win tonight.

    He is in a very good division though, needs to go up another level to worry the big boys.

    Seems to lack a little... killer instinct??

    He is a very talented fighter, looks so composed but at the same time he is quite fun to watch. Looks so classy on the front foot (great combinations) and his defensive work is really impressive too, doesn't take many. I agree the only *minor* criticism I have is that he does seem to lack a little bit of a killer instinct. His improvement in each fight is great to see!

    His lack of power will be his downfall at world level.

    I think he would give Quigg a right handful if they boxed

    Quigg's style is made for Galahad, he isn't ready for Frampton quite yet though.

    Thought he looked like he's coming on nicely last night. Hell of a slow starter though. Seems a different fighter after a few rounds.

    Quigg being underrated as usual on here though.

    Lot of hype around Galahad, but I just don't see the big deal with him. Good win over Jazza, but he got made to look very ordinary at times in that fight. But same token, he pulled a great right hand out of the bag to end it so credit where it's due.

    Obviously talented, no doubt about it... but Frampton & Quigg are a level above and always will be in my opinion.

    Personally I have been slow to buy into the "hype" surrounding KG. Its still to early to say IMO - he is still untested at a sufficiently high level to jump either way on him. But I must admit I am warming up to him. Great fitness - despite going non-stop for 12 last night he never once looked to be even breathing a bit hard.

    I dont agree with some posters who say he lacks killer instinct - IMO its power he lacks. This could well be the thing that stops him from breaking through at the highest level.
    But for now - a lot to like, from what I saw last night.

    Agree about Quigg being constantly underrated. Whats that about?

    Seen Brook comment on his fitness, think it was during his most recent interview with Kugan.

    Apparently he's as fit as they come, always finishes the runs first etc.

    Galahad admitted making a lot of mistakes in the Dickens fight and looked to have learnt from them last night. You rated Dickens as a great prospect and said he'd beat Galahad, yet since Galahad KO'd him you've found it hard to give him any credit.

    Found it hard to give him any credit?

    On this very thread I've said his right hand to end matters with Dickens was a quality shot and that he is clearly a talented fighter...

    Jazza is and still is a good domestic prospect, I thought he would upset the odds and beat Galahad but was wrong... he was winning the fight and caused him no end of problems but at the end of the day he came up short.

    No doubting Galahad has talent, but from the way I've heard some people bang on about him I just don't see what they see...
