Are there any British welterweight prospects coming through on the domestic scene?

Denton Vassell looks the pick. Well rounded, polished fighter.

Matchroom seem to be pushing Cardle, but I've seen him live a couple times and seen nothing to write home about there.

 

Yeah I was going to say Denton Vassell, didn't realise he was 28 though!

 

and dont forget he beat purdy (who has since improved) ages ago.

inactivity is a killer

 

Frankie Gavin could be great if he took the whole thing seriously. Him fighting at welterweight is to me beyond comprehension, his frame isn't big enough. As soon as he faces a half decent 147lbs guy he's going to get beat up, badly.

He'd be good at lightweight or maybe light-welterweight at the maximum. He needs to get in the gym, train properley, get a bit of extra weight off and take his career seriously. If he does then he could achieve great things.

 

time is running out fast

 

Yeah his team need to get him moving up and try dipping him into International level

 

No-one else rates him but I think Bradley Skeete is a decent prospect.

 

He has potential , lacks a bit of power but that will surely come later

 

Terry Holmes looked more than decent when he beat Dean Byrne but he hasnt fought since :conf

 

Lewis Rees is a good prospect from South Wales. used to be in the Olympic squad. not sure if he's going to be campaigning at light-welter or welterweight. be better at 140 imo

if W arren can get him more fights and step up the opposition in 2013 this guy is going places

if he was with Matchroom/Sky he'd be having great pulicity like Cardle

he's going under the radar atm unfortunately

 

what about that larry lad who just won prizefighter? has he got british citenzship now?

 

Rick Godding?

 

Denton Vessel, would stop Frankie Gavin.

 

Not sure about this 'power will come' business. Very rarely happens, kinda like 'A will walk through B.' Which again, rarely happens but is often stated.

Skeete won't ever be a good puncher but at this level he's going to be very awkward to beat.
