Let's talk Chris John...

I was reading some weeks back that Chris 'The Dragon' John had an April date open in Indonesia for his return. Have we heard anything more?

Obviously the best Featherweight in the world and had a couple of big fights last year against Rocky Juarez, but looking forward to seeing him back in action and who's next to face 'The Dragon'?

Maybe Leon or Kegsy, the WA boys would have a bit of mail there, or even Harry's Gym who's posted in the past?

I personally would love to see Chris vs. Gamboa or JuanMa. I think Gamboa maybe too explosive, but I think he beats JuanMa.

Any thoughts or info anyone?

 

Keep us informed Leon, our WA mailman.

Chris is a very sharp, technical boxer and I think his real strength (comes with experience) is how he can shut a fight down. By that I mean, he can dictate very well the tone and tempo to what suits him. I've always been very impressed with that aspect of his skills.

P.S: Did Steven Speilberg get that email?

 

:good

 

No Smutt, no challenge here. We've got our own wheels in motion with some other plans.

I should say Smutt, Craig would know my number or how to find me if he wanted that fight to happen. I'm sure Craig's got his own plans for Chris and we have our own road to trek down.

 

Yes we are working together and have got some good things developing.

Watched him spar 8rds this morning and looked fantastic. He's in really good shape and Billy H. is really ecstatic with how he's been working.

Billy's also been doing a lot of strength and core training with an outside strength coach over the last 6-8 weeks and he's really developed a strong frame/core and added some more shape which I'm sure you guy's will see the benefits this year.

 

No offence taken Leon. It's a fair question asked, fair question to answer.


As I have said before on here, there's a stack of great in Billy that no one see's and yes, by his own admission, he's let himself down with a few things in the past, but believe me, this last 3-4 months, his maturity has gone to another level. His focus is fantastic (training twice a day) and we as a team really see him doing great things in the future.

Just to note - Billy was at the the gym at 6.30am this morning training a member of the public who had won a raffle at his niece's school for him to personally train (3 sessions) which he donated to raise money for his niece's school.

Straight after training the gentlemen, Billy did 10rds of skip, floor-to-ceiling, shadow, bag and then 8rds of tip-top sparring with another member of Billy H's team and the work was class.

Next month, he's involved in some charity speaking which is appreciated by the people involved, but largely goes unnoticed and that's fine. Believe me though, Billy is a great young man who will go on and acheive great things.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but you would do a lot worse than support him.
