Remember Adam Etches?

Can you think of other prospects that lost just as they began to get a bit of hype? Don't think Etches career recovered too well after the Khomitsky loss

 

Yes I remember him. Ohara Davies may already be in that category as well.

 

Yeah I think Ohara is fighting Jack Caterall in Leicester in October, if Caterall is the fighter I think he could be, he stops Davis or wins it wide, in my books

 

I agree with this. I’ve stuck my neck on the line and said Catterall stops him by round 6.

Regarding Etches, I couldn’t see him going further than domestic level (no shame in that), maybe he lost heart in it.

 

My memory of him is being brutally knocked out by that khomitsky.

 

Guy was a tosser, he used to goad Khan and insult him on Twitter. Just another Kell Brook groupie. Glad he’s not on tv anymore.

 

Davies is already better than Etches.

 

I remember laughing when he got levelled by Khominsky and Jim Watt's reaction when the fight was waved off.

Defenitely not a bad kid though, and I like to see him box.

 

Yeah agreed. I was referring to Davies being hyped.

 

Etches was one of those that became a victim of his own hype.
He sold well, and got a few k.os early on, then came khomitsky.
Etches lack of implying fundemental defence techniques led to him losing that fight and afaik we haven't seen him since.
It is a shame he hung em up after that, a good coach could of improved his game tenfold in a relatively short time.
I think he's still involved with Poxon sports in some capacity.

 

Khomitsky took his soul, then he tried to return and won a couple of bum fights. Then John Ryder battered him and retired him. hes got a promotional company now I hear?

 

Is he hooked up

Yes I saw his name bomber in conjunction with poxon sports

 

Yep, Bomber Promotions, first show early October.

 

12 Oct in Sheffield their first show

 

Another Ingle Flop
