    Man.. He was such a talented amateur - Olympic Silver medalist, European Gold medalist.

    I'd not seen his pro fights but I noticed he had zero KO's so far. Some people just don't adapt to the pros. Two different sports.

    Crazy. Went completely under my radar. He really hasn't achieved anything as a pro and this hints he never will

    Yeah I'm surprised at the result but if you consider Hearn or FW didn't sign him and as far as I'm aware didn't try to sign him maybe this result shouldn't be so surprising.

    Didn't he have a fair few out of ring issues that put everyone off of him?

    Yeah he had incidents in nightclubs etc. I'm sure in Delhi 2010 he caused damage at the hotel where the Welsh team were staying. A talented amateur but it was very apparent he would be a risk trying to guide in the pro ranks.

    What an amateur Evans was. I remember seeing him stopped in the WSB, I kinda knew then the Pro's was a long shot.

    Journeyman is harsh on Ryan Toms who was a prospect himself once and was actually in the first ever fight broadcast on Boxnation (got one shotted by Steve O Meara)

    He is always fit and competitive but loses against supposed major talents like Evans but can pick up wins v anyone not quite at the races or been protected.Look at his win column for proof he comes to fight,credit to him for this win.

    I’d just like to add that it had nothing to do with his affiliation to MTK whatsoever.
