    He seems a nice enough lad etc. But he's going nowhere has a jab n that's about it, shouldn't of thought for the commonwealth title either, altho I had him winning they should of had tony dodson fighting for it then his bout with smith would look alot better with two titles on the line.

    Thoughts then people where does dilks go? Domestic level or higher??

    domestic level. i thought he looked ok given his limited experience.

    he could probably give the other scousers at smw a good fight.

    Domestically he looks like he's decent and has a bit of ability but in reality he will go no further then domestic level. He look not bad last night and has some nice moves but he has a lot to work on and i don't see him having enough skills or punch to win at higher level. He should really be Commonwealth Champion so he shown he has good ability but you got to have something about you to be a European or World scene fighter at Super Middle.

    Im disagree he was very unlucky not to get the decision against Adamu and only had 3 weeks prep for a fighter who had gone 12 against Froch all be it a few years back...

    I see improvement in the lad and he could well be european level ... he has a nice style but needs to improve his right hand defence ... good jab and nice combos but he does lack power ....

    I do agree with you to a point. What worried me is...he has a style in which he hasn't really perfected and what worries me against a crisper more technically fighter his mistakes would get exposed.

    He moves back at times with chin air or he gets' caught in on way out and used a shoulder roll but gets hit...just little things. For a guy that was clearly nervous and unsure of his own ability to win at that level going in i must say i was impressed.
