Josh Warrington

good little fighter with a great attitude to the sport


cant see him doing a mcdonnell though

three titles in a year or something like that , at the time i was like shiteeee that was some doing

 

As above he is huge for weight comes across very level headed keeps day job etc but seems dedicated and has a gd size fanbase for a fighter who has low ko percentage can't see goin by euro level tho at wl and fringe world level u need power to back up fighterd

 

hes a nice boxer but i dont see him reaching world level but he might manag to get the euro title. i think his lack of power wil tell up at that level

 

Eddie said he's done over 1500 tickets personally for the Leeds fight which is incredible.

 

Thts what a ment about fanbase for a non puncher usually low but does sell well decent fights out ther for him to make bit cash forget he is young aswell

 

His not massive at the weight. Imo he cud make super ban but after chatting to him and his team after he fought my cuz his comfortable at the weight and growing into it and is still a young lad. The likes of selby put on 10- 12 lbs after the weigh in . He only puts on 3-4 lbs. Josh is a talented kid with a great engine and seems to improve with every fight good luck to him

 

Improving with each fight, good fighter.

Being a ticket seller will open some doors, hopefully he keeps plugging away & improving at the rate he has been doing.

 

Reckon he winds up with one of those WBA 'regular' belts, get the feeling they're doing similar with fielding

Doing well so far, selling lots of tickets and is the main event on a show with a guy who was a world champion a few months ago and a guy who was in a world title next time out is pretty good, can't see Hearn risking him much as he's potentially a golden goose for him

 

He has just signed a 5 fight deal with Matchroom so I would assume he is going full time, so I'd say his fast improvement will continue maybe even increase. Leeds and West Yorkshire in general is a huge area that historically has not produced quality fighters compared to Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield or London, so is really crying out for someone to step forward. Yorkshiremen are very proud and will seriously back Josh, as will the droves of Leeds fans, they don't have much else to cheer about!

 

U don't need power. It definitely helps. But there has been plenty of world level fighters without power. Tim Bradley being a prime example.

 

There is a few posts which refers to his lack of power, your forgetting hes
stopped 2 out of 3 prev oppononents, decent quality at that. In itself that speaks volumes to me. I know he has a good team around him and the kid himself is hard working, dedicated and always looki g to imprve, which i think it shows in his performances each time.

I remember when he fought male for the english.
at that time most of the boxing pundits didnt expect him to do english level.
If the lad can keep progressing as well as he has over the past 2yr then i think he has a good chance of going to world.
