    Yes, Allen is very knowledgeable.

    I think Majidov left it way too late to turn over, and it's really frustrating he wasted the last 2 years doing nothing because he could've fought 10-12 times already had he turned pro after the 2017 world championships. But his power is very real and no one has done that to Little before. IIRC he was never down against Hrgovic or Price and he only hit the deck from a body shot against Dubois. And obviously all of those guys are very big punchers. Little had a full camp for this one too.

    Yeah probably is too late to fully maximize on his potential like a lot of the amateur standouts that have turned over. But better late than never as the saying goes. Looks like he's all in or nothing. So I think we'll see very quickly what he's made of at the top level. Possibly even next year.

    Put him with Joyce and get one of these late starters ready for a world title shot. No point hanging about further for either of them although Joyce seems reluctant to take any chances at all despite getting on. The guy ducked a relatively green Dubois ffs.

    Joyce is actually a whole year older than Majidov albeit he's had 8 more pro fights than him so far.

    They actually fought each other in the ams and Joyce won a SD.

    Joyce's manager Sam Jones aka S-JAM Boxing

    Sam should look to make that fight then. That or stop telling his charge to duck DDD who is desperate to make that fight.

    The S-JAM Boxing takeover is imminent. I'd rather see Dubois and Majidov ditch their current promoters and sign up with S-JAM Boxing so it speeds up the inevitable S-JAM Boxing Takeover.

    Realistically who should he fight next? He needs a Loma type 'jump in the deep end straight away' type career path. In the heavyweights there's a huge talent gulf between fringe contenders and journeyman, more so than other weight classes. How about someone like Helenius?

    When a decorated amateur waits this long to turn pro he is usually not good enough to have turn pro. Makes no sense if you are that good to waste your prime in the amateur. Millions to make.

    Or maybe that he's related to Magomed Abdusalamov, and seeing what happened to his relative may have jarred him a little and made him apprehensive to turn pro.
