    I must agree wholeheartedly with this, I've known John since he started as an amateur and he is one of the most honest, respectful and humble people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Never questioned a decision by the judges, and you sometimes get a few stange ones in the ams :roll:

    My very best wishes in his pro career.

    Also the most dedicated fighter I've ever come across, hands down. He eats sleeps and breathes boxing and he has a great boxing brain along with some top hand speed.

    Wow... he's a 6ft lightweight.

    Anyone seen his fights? It doesnt look like he has much power but with 60 amatuer bouts thats some solid experience to begin at professional level.

    Sounds good, if the reports on his dedication are true then I'm sure he'll go far.

    Always respect boxers who show proper dedication and don't **** around, these are the guys who rarely offer excuses when they don't win, the get what it's all about.

    Good luck to him
