Best Prospect in UK boxing??

Quite often a guy with an early loss (due to poor performance for instance) will be ripped off when there is a close fight and the opponent is a touted star.

Murray lost to al-Hamidi beyond question......

 

He looks good, records can be decieving though, just look at johnny nelsons early career.

 

agree about murray losing

yeh he has lost afew early but is a good fighter and he does seem to lose close desicions but if you look at his record theres some impressive names. the fighters he have lost to are good fighters, he has been matched far too hard far too early

 

i reckon he could maybe be a european champ or better

 

Anthony Small part two?!?!?!

 

Like his style - seems fast & hard punching too - just a shame about thoses losses never look good on a record

 

records should have nothing to do with it. he should if he starts beating good fighters should get title shots etc...

 

Small is a bum!

I like guys being matched hard, but properly. Both Hatton and Calzaghe were matched averagely IMO, Khan was protected upto the eyeballs in his first 15 contests......

Appleby is probably the best matched British youngster of the past few years - five bums, a few journeymen and then the British title against a decent opponent, then a reasonable (rather than easy) first defence.

Someone like Kell Brook has promised an awful lot, but up until his last two fights has barely fought someone with a detectable pulse.

 

That lead left hand is absolutely outrageous :yep , the way he swarms and jumps into shots makes him look like a bit of a throwback, but I agree that with a style like that he will need a hell of a chin.

There is quite a big gap in his history, it would be interesting to see what happened during this period. I'd certainly pay to see him. :deal

 

Jeff is this the same guy who you posted a story about a couple of weeks ago, the guy who bet Maloney his entire purse and won?

 

:good He's got an entertaining style and co do well but he needs to matched properly. So face he's faced some tough competition for someone with the amount of fights he's had.
