Best Prospect in UK boxing??

he got a great left hook
and was able to use it effectivley against an opponent taller than himself.

 

Is it just me or is this kid a carbon copy of Prince Naseem Hamed? Looks almost identical the way he fights.

Certainly looks a good prospect and an exciting fighter.

 

That's what I thought. But does he have the chin is the question? If not he's getting knocked out and sooner rather than later.

 

He has already been KOd twice in the 11 fights he has had as a pro. He looks very talented and losing some early 4 round fights is not the end of the world, but he has been KOd for a 10 count and stopped another time too.

That alone suggests that his chin is not good enough to allow him to use that style and mix it higher up.

 

A very wise man shared that view on the first page...

 

In that case he should learn to keep his hands up, if he wants to go far.

 

michael mcguire is a great prospect. I've only seen one of his bouts against the USA, but he was the best boxer on the show. Not sure how Joe Murray got chosen to fight in the worlds ahead of him at bantamweight, but he's one to look out for.
Other than that, Amir Kahn is the UK's best prospect.
It's to early to call james degale a prospect.

 

I'm not taken by Degale, he can be good but i am yet to be won over. Khan has plenty of talent but his flaw doesn't need explaining. Still think he will take a world title though.


The kid in this clip looks exciting to watch, the Hamed comparison is so clear it's untrue, even down to the arms down shoulder shimmy that he used to do to take the ****. I do know that i could really get behind a fighter that has a few losses because he wasn't interested in a padded career, someone prepared to take losses on his record in order to improve at a quicker rate. Needs to produce more power from his right and improve his defence though, he doesn't quite have the speed of head movement to perfect that style imo. Good luck to the lad though.

 

I love to watch that hands down southpaw style,Hamed,Camacho,Witter,Haskins etc

Is he with the Ingles Jeff? If he isn't, maybe he should be!!

 

hes with ben doughty a young trainer from london

 

word has it he gave Paul Williams fits in sparring over in the states.

 

Brendan Ingle style like that can be complete sucide at a higher level

Pele Reid looked sensational blasting people out............then they stuck him in there with world rated Orlin Norris and he came out with his hands down by his bollocks................and BANG !!!!!!!!

all over

Orlin Norris KO 1 Pele Reid

 

I'm with Jeff Thomas on this one.

I've seen El Maachi twice and the guy from Rabat, Morrocco is awesome. The first time he came as opposition to the house fighter, Eamonn Goodbrand, a decent Scottish prospect, undefeated in 4 and when he came to fight Goodbrand and he was definitely the "away" boxer, he'd had 8 fights, lost 4 and was there as the journeyman, he took Goodbrand apart.

Incidentally, that night I heard the MC ask the boxer earlier, did he want his record (4 wins- 4 losses) read out or should he say 9th contest. El Maachi was adament, "read it out, I dont care, the last two were bad decisions, I gotta knock them out to win!" He said it with a big smile on his face and I took an instant shine to the guy.

Frank Maloney made the same mistake against Concepcion and he was stopped.

El Maachi was the "home" boxer last night, but the promoter Carlo Rea only seems to put shows on at this venue and he doesn't manage any boxers, so I don't know where El Maachi will get the fights, I doubt if Maloney, Warren or the rest will be in a hurry to put him in against their prospects now. He has the talent to go places but has he got the promoter to get him the fights?

I say good luck to him, he's great to watch and comes across well outside the ring.

 

I think the Ingle style can be very successful, but you need to be prepared to throw a lot of punches or have a great beard.
