    I've heard the wee man Dave Coldwell hyping his new fighter and others praising. I know he was an excellent amateur in the youths. But I've not seen him yet. Is he the real deal?

    He looked good when I saw him. But it is too early to tell until he steps up how far he can go

    I agree plus it looks like his man strength might be a few years away. Would have properly been better staying in Amateurs for another 2 years or so.

    He looked good against that lad they dragged off a nearby construction site on the Ruiz-AJ card. He’s clearly very skilled but like @moog said, he needs some man strength to hurt his opponents.

    I've just watched a couple of old amateur fights of his and he's clearly very skilled. reminds me of like a smaller version of Luke Campbell

    He was very good as a youth but didn't do as well as a senior for the short time he was one.
    He's from a traveller background and can see a confrontation between his father and Coldwell kicking off further down the line at some point.
    I'm not sure what division he will be in at championship weight but if it's sbw there is a lot of good talent coming through in that division domesticaly.
    The lad certainly has skills but he does need to get some pop 8n his shots if he's going to go far

    His last name doesn't bode well for him.
