    I really liked the look of this kid last night, fast hands, plenty of snap in his punches, I look forward to following his development.

    That was the first time I have seen L Walsh fight, what did you think of him and how did he look in previous performances?

    None of them annoyed me yesterday. I am a little upset as I was telling a lot of folk what an incredible bunch of tossers these lads are.

    Begrudgingly I thought each of them showed they can develop into very decent boxers.

    Apparently they are all well known tossers in the Cromer area. May not be true, but I do hear this quite a bit

    Liam was quite reserved yesterday and all of them showed a lot more respect to their opponents then they have previously - I think Ryan has been the worst for that before.

    Thought he put his punches together well. The question is how is Warren going to move them on. His track record at developing fighters suggests a long unbeaten record against mediocre at best opposition.

    Early on Liam's patience, defense, movement, balance impressed me, as did his mental stability, as he had to suck it up in those late round, and for a guy with only 9 fights, it was impressive, cause Awuku looked like he was coming on strong, and at one point, looked as though he had hurt Walsh, that said, I do think lack of power might be an issues for him.

    The brother who fought second, I did not not get much chance to see his fight, as the telecast I watched only had HL's of his fight, although he showed good variety in his punch selection, that was nice, although gotta be honest, watching him, I did not think I was watching a potential future world champ.


    I was not impressed with the youngest brother to be honest, showed some technical flaws imo, he went to the body with body hands leaving his chin exposed, and got a bit square at times.


    Overall, from what I saw, Liam seems to have the better balance, technique, defense, which will probably stand him better stead than the others.

    I would have agreed with this comment until recently. Warren seems more willing to let his fighters take a few risks these days.

    For known tossers they sure do sell a lot of tickets to people from Cromer, all of whom are happy to travel to London regularly

    Too early to tell if he's a good prospect.
