    Far too much expectation and pressure on him.

    He needs to seriously improve his technique. He also looks a little too stiff. Wish the kid all the best.

    The talk of cleaning up the HW division when he turns pro is ****ing stupid.

    I'm not saying it ain't possible, but c'mon.

    Fair play, could you watch Erislandy Savon, Ivan Dychko, Philp Hrgovic...its on youtube...they 21, 21 and 19 and give us your thoughts on them. It sounds outlandish, but these guys could be the main men for the next decade..really sound skills, size and young.

    Uysk...will be a cruier then step up to heavy no doubt.#

    True, what do you think this could do?

    He is raw...he is british, looks good...hype begins.

    Yes, could you expand a bit on that....even the hard to impress Colin Hart said he is the next Ali...this is the guy who used to pan Tyson constanly.

    The low down from my perspective.

    He fought well against Cammarelle, Pfister, and Medjidov....(bad spellings).....


    Very top heavy, his combos are basic, the one two, and he somtimes when in full flow attack, steps his right foot forward which in real techincal terms you should not do as it leaves you off balance.

    His abilty to move the head isnt there yet, for example as a tall fighter when you throw a jab out, you should tilt your head slighly left, along with your torso so that when that Jab is thrown...if a counter punch is also thrown from your opponent then he will miss the target slighlty. Lewis did this often throwing the left jab out, then tilting his head left with it.


    His stance, is a result of inexperience and being top heavy physically. The way he stands, his top half of his body is slightly forward with his legs/ ass slightly behind him, which means his balance is a bit to forward, which allows a smaller opponent a chance to hit him. It dosent look right.....


    Be cool to here some thoughts.

    I just think that because the kid is showing potential in the ams that people are getting a little ahead of themselves. I agree he looks promising, he has a lot of the tools that he needs to be a successful pro, but "cleaning up the division" is way overboard as far as I'm concerned.

    Everyone knows that a world class am doesn't automatically make a world class pro, pro and am are like chalk and cheese.

    he will more than likely have trouble taking clean shots in the pros considering his chin has only been getting tested for 2 years and not since he was 10, there could be the chance that he was blessed with a solid chin from god but he still wont do anything good in the pros until he improves

    Interesting perspective...why do you think its best to be getting hit at 10 as oppose to the 2 years he has done.

    im pulling you up on this pal, if every time a tall fighter throws a jab and leans/tilts left it wont take long for the opponent to cop it and time him with a right hand after slipping the jab and quick short step to his right, he will be leaning straight into the right hand, as a tall fighter he should be jabbing and keeping his height and body should be upright

    did you just make all that **** up
