    See he just got a win over Lee Swaby. Does this heavy have some potential?

    I think he could go further than the other 2 heavies on the card, he was definitely the most impressive of the 3.

    He's with Maloney so that goes out of the window.

    He seems to have improved everytime ive seen him!
    He beats Larry anyways!
    The right hand he picked out was a peach, didn't think Swaby was gunna make it to his feet!

    Maloney won the EBU's 'promoter of the year' award last year.
    Quite a few of his fighter's have won EBU titles of late.

    Quality shot. At present he makes the domestic scene with Fury, Price, Olu and co look interesting.

    good right hand to finish the fight, has come up very quietly. Seen him about 4 times now, he's ready to step up to Commonwealth or English title level.

    He's a bit stiff and his defence looks **** if somebody punches back. We have to remember its quite easy to look good against people that hardly punch back and are coming in to lose. I think we found that out with Tyson Fury, then he fights a live body and looks poo.

    He does have raw power though, which is great to have. He's definitely up there domestically.

    I think Price is the better prospect but was disappointed in him last night fair enough get the rounds in but i would have liked to have seen him make an effort to get Peret out of there he was very Wlad like just happy to flick out the jab all night

    I said in the RBR that he is going to be, in terms of excitement, more of a Wlad than a Vitali :yep

    I like the look of Dallas - he would beat Olubamiwo comfortably IMO, but I would pick Price to beat Dallas.

    Dallas vs Olubamiwo
    Price vs Ferguson

    Dallas/Olu winner vs Price/Ferguson winner

    We can all dream :yep

    We can all dream I would like to think Maloney might do that but i think that Maloney will push them each as far as they can go before they lose at adecent level then sacrifice one to make a name for another. I think that could happen with Dallas Olubamiwo. Its obvious that all you have to do is be abl to take Olubamiwo a few rounds to beat him and the size of Dallas and his power would keep him at bay fairly easily. I doubt he would throw price in just in case with hi chin would be intrested to know what Maloneys plans are

    Can't say I was impressed with any of the three. Domestic level, maybe. Certainly no further than that.
