When are we going to get to see what the highly touted Paul Fleming can do?

    I know Kegsy has raised this in his padded records list, but I find Fleming to be the most frustrating of the padders since I've heard so much of his amateur days. He's been thrown on the Hussein card this weekend against the ever formidable TBA so there's no expectation of anything but another SE asian chump for him to feed on.

    This kid seem to need some strong management and direction. The Cameron Durkin connection doesnt seem to be yielding much. The TBA seems to be a favourite of team Hussein. Is he mixed up in an unsupportive crowd?

    Mike Altamura is Fleming's manager.

    Honestly most believe Fleming has some terrific talent but it is definitely time for him to raise that bar a bit & at least take on some better Australian or South East Asian opposition.

    I personally wouldnt mind him tackling 1 of the 4 major regional titles at Super Feather or Commonwealth Title.

    Something to consider:
    Current Champs - Super Featherweights

    OPBF - Jomthong Chuwatana (Thailand) 3-0 3KO
    PABA - Vacant (Since Mid 2011) Former Champ - Taek-Min Kim (South Korea) 14-4 9KO
    IBF Pan Pacific - Vacant (Since Mid 2011) Former Champ - Fahsai Sakkreerin (Thailand) 37-3 20KO
    WBO Asia Pacific - Jose Ocampo (Philippines) 15-5-1 10KO
    Commonwealth (British Empire) - Liam Walsh (UK) 12-0 9KO

    Gets a top 15 world rating in 1 or more sanctioning bodies with a regional belt obviously...

    The Hussein diet is doing him no good. Maybe a stint in Japan like velero and linares did?

    Agreed. Would be a good step up in competition to gain experience without throwing him to the lions to early. If he goes to Japan lets hope he doesnt end up like Valero.................... what a waste of talent, but a ****bag for doing what he did to his missus.

    Brunker has been moved along better than fleming. Paul has a fair bit more natural talent than joel but its obvious that the tried formula of fighting stiffs here is the plan.

    Looking forward to the update mate. There's a guy literally kicking the door down for #1 position.
