    The kid is good, but he aint in Andersons class, too early for him to take on Anderson. Lets face it, if you look at his record he's got one good name on it and he got pumped. One test, one loss, so for me he aint all that. He will beat McIntyre, who is a good boxer but can be hurt fairly easily

    What can he do, Anderson is the british champion so he has to defeat his mandatories, unless he can get himself a bigger fight.

    Its harsh to say Mark "aint all that" because he lost to Vincent Vuma, at 6 days notice, at the weight above. Vuma was tipped to give Jamie Moore a tough contest, and Mark did himself proud. Judging by your comments youve not seen mark fight, so to make a throw away comment like "he aint all that" is very very harsh indeed. I agree, Anderson on paper is way above Mark on paper. But I think it'll be a good scrap. Both can bang, and both have good chins. Anderson will start heavy fav though.

    Is Anderson above British title level? I'd probably say so.

    I can tell you one thing about Mark..... He can bang.

    This kid has a punch like a kick from a mule.

    Thought he done really well against Vuma and was unlucky not to stop him. As north has already mentioned, Vuma was going to be a tough test for Jamie Moore; and Mark took a HUGE step up with just a few days notice, and gave Vuma a fight.....

    He is deffo one to watch.

    Mark is no longer a secret and is sure to be in some good welterweight scraps over the coming years.He still has a lot to learn , but the Vuma fight has given him more than extra knowledge, it has given him the confidence too and that is so important.

    He is ready for any UK welterweight now and over the next 12 months we will find out how good he is and how good the others are !!.

    Mark was not a great amateur but his development in the gym has been fantastic and it just goes to show what can happen with the right team around you,he is learning each day with Oliver/Humprey and the quality fighters at the gym.

    Kevin must be developing being around so many good fighters in Manchester and it will be interesting should they ever fight. Me and Top dog will be having a little bet if it does !!

    fairplay to thompson for taking these fights - i think in that respect he has a similiar attitude to anderson himself.

    it sounds like he'll give ando a good fight (if he wins his eliminator) and win or lose learn from the experience.

    He Ko'd Ronnie Daniels in one tonight. Daniels likes to put his solid guard up and plant his feet. Fine, unless your meeting someone who can whack.
