    He was meant to be fighting for the Southern Area Title on the Murray-Mitchell card. I think the fights been scrapped, not sure though.

    :deal I think he needs a good strength and conditioner to get him ripped and so he can stay at 160 lbs for a while. He isn't big enough for SMW, he doesn't hit hard enough either. As an amatuer i'm sure he was around the ligh-middleweight mark. Very talented fighter, hope W@rren keeps him busy!

    Has he found the laziness to move up to light heavy yet? Surely not far away.

    Point taken but unfair to tarnish him with that brush. After his period of absence he has come storming out the gates. Long may it continue.

    he is still very young so will grow into the weight. he has said he would get to light middle for a title fight.

    With Saunders I'm not sure how much is poor conditioning and how much is that he's not quite physically mature yet.
