    Is he any good?

    Barry McGuigan talking very highly of him in this weeks Boxing News.

    He's chief support to Gavin Rees this weekend. Wonder if Sky will be showing his fight.

    He's very good.

    That's his 7th fight. Voronin is a former european title challenge and took Bernard Dunne and Nicky Cook the distance.


    Oh, and he posts on here. :good

    i suppose we wont know until he steps up to someone good that could take him out, seeing him in adversity


    but so far hes looked the dogs bollocks, **** loads of amateur experience but with a pro style and a hard dig.


    Some great nights ahead in belfast if he can keep focused all the waty

    Assuming he can take a dig, then if he maintains a good level of concentration, doesnt get complacent and trains hard then there is no reason why he shouldnt be fighting for world titles in 2-3 years time....

    is there any word that he has been knocked over in sparring, as an am etc etc?

    just looking at him fight he looks world class already. ok he is fighting poor oppo but he just looks class.

    Not that I've heard of...I guess Slapp is the man to ask about this.

    Yeah he does look class, he puts his punches together very well, very nice rhythm to the way he throws them....They look like they really hurt too, which is an added bonus.

    Very talented fighter. If he has the stamina and chin he can be a good world champion.

    haven't heard of him being knocked over in sparring but interestingly he did knock over willie casey when they spared as amateurs
