didnt see his fight with dan naylor last night but have saw alot of negative comments on another forum about his performance and his career as a pro. just wandered wat the boxrec lads think of him and his fight last night. the featherweight division is hotting up with some good match ups in the pipe line wen lee selby vacates. lindsey warrington slowey wood samir tennysey joe himself.
Hes quick skillful and has good pedigree. His problems come from inactivity. When thats sorted, the rest may click imo
Yeah his last four fights before and after inactivity have been distinctly underwhelming I think he will be an English/british level fighter but no more Nothing wrong with that it just falls short when you realise he is gifted
Not strong enough for the pros, a product of the 4x2s style boxing There's a few class amateur's from that generation struggle with the pro game because of the tactics of the 4x2 min rounds and computer scoring a million miles away from pro boxing a great natural boxer can adapt but it's a different sport.
I was dissapointed with joe last night. Best part about him was his ring walk and his silly clothes haha
says he is going up to super-featherweight - can see him fighting for vacant commonwealth title against a "teak tough african"
I'd say that's nailed on Keep him away from Walsh Simpson buckland smith selby and the like Build him up for a few championship wins then chuck him in and see how he goes You never know in boxing but as it stands he is in a strong division and isn't powerful enough it seems to make an impact
