    Really worried about this Mackem, he is clearly going nowhere and he is going there really slowly.
    (i) How is he sustaining himself, whilst he carries on playing at Boxing
    (ii) Will he eventually leave boxing with a mountain of debt, built up funding this failed dream?

    Daddy's a very good and rich businessman from what i've been told. He's not exactly your 'working class' fighter. More well off then people would actually think. I'd say he's invested money well and ain't exactly hard up when not in training or fighting. He seems to be happy with life...

    Jeffries going nowhere fast or slow, think fish eyes should do us a favour and put him in with big enzo on Oct 15th, could even have it as an illiminator for clev? :patsch

    good luck to him, not the best prospect in terms of talent but has moved away to fully concentrate on his goal so if he fails its not for the lack of trying

    this has to get made, surely this can be an eliminator for s.middle or l.heavy?

    I like the guy, he seems very genuine but he never looks comfortable in the ring. He always seems very jittery and his timing seems slightly out. The cuts aren't helping either, he's getting nervous bout getting cuts. He needs a stern test and he needs it quickly and I can't help but think Maloney is going to cash out on him sooner rather than later.

    Anderson would certainly eat him alive at this stage!

    And I'm sure I read somewhere he has spent 20 grand of his own cash funding his training in the states so I'm sure the cash aspect is a long term worry if he doesn't make a career of boxing.

    Really used to enjoy watching this guy fight as an amatuer.

    But now he has regressed, much more than many of his peers to the point where I am wondering if he knows what he is doing in the ring. The performance saturday was abysmal.

    His trainer and promoter looked worried and embrrased more than anything else and his trainers claimed that he woudnt be with jeffries if he didnt believe he could go all the way, was a poor attempt at saving face.

    Not sure if he can become creme of the domestic scene either. Which is the oposite many said before turning professional.
