    I've heard good things about him a few times. He trains with Appleby and Paul definitely rates him too.

    Stopped by a bloody nose while he was ahead on points, bit of a joke really. He's improved so much since then though.

    Very high work rate for a boxer, but he can mix it up on the inside.

    He beat Kevin McCauley on his debut, McCauley just won the midlands area welterweight title and has had some good wins since then.

    Very hard debut for a warren fighter and I think Pollock on paper was another hard opponent for him but he breezed through him, after Burns/Martinez with not many people left in the arena in what was a flawless performance.

    He did well to come through a hard pro debut, Kevin McCauley has had good wins since then and just won a midlands area title.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    But from that one amateur fight he does look pretty good. Footwork needs improvement though its sort of TitoEsque and could be a problem against a pressure fighter since he doesnt have TitoEsque power. But hey if Warren signed him up so early in his career then there has got to be a lot of potential there.

    I dunno I just looked at boxrec and it has him listed as a lightweight.

    I just added him to my prospect watch and looking forward to his next fight. Hopefully Warren will add him to the undercard of another good prize fighter card at the very least.
