    First noticed him when he blasted Peter Allen out in 18 seconds which was mightily impressive becaus I know first hand how tough peter is. Other than that he stopped both Dean Phillips and Steve Mullin but was stopped by some foreigner a couple of fights ago. He's a talented kid though.

    You a fan of the Mitchell brothers?

    I don't know much about Vinny Mitchell other than he is a featherweight.

    What was his amateur career like?

    As a kid excellent but 1-1 as an adult inc a pretty brutal stopage loss in the ABAs. He didn't mature physically as fast as Kevin so it was a man a gainst a boy really. From the little I watched of him (both fights as an adult) he seems a pretty good technician and a good mover. howeverm people who watched him as a nipper reckong he's a nasty piece of work in the ring. The same "vicious streak" that commentators use about Kevin.

    A lot of people I've spoken to have high hopes for him.

    1) Best fight? Earl vs Katsidis

    2) Best domestic fighter? Khan

    3) Most improved british fighter?Amir Khan

    4) Best KO?Sprott vs Audley Harrison (also I thought witters ko of vivian harris was a peach of a left hook.)

    5) Biggest disappointment?Think it was sprott vs skelton lol so boring i cant remember it properly think i fell asleep. Pretty sure it was sprott vs skelton . Two very boring heavy weights so very boring. Did i mention it was boring.

    6) Best round?Earl vs Katsidis 2

    7) Biggest upset? Cant think of one that i watched anyways. Id say when sprott knocked out audley but i really wasnt that upset :yep

    Exactly the 4 id go with.

    Appleby looks a great prospect though worth a mention for craig mcewan its a pity he doesnt get much coverage over here.
