    i would really like to see a lot more of him this year.

    he is the most exciting one out of the british prospects, i would like to see him against someone who can test him.

    i was very impressed how he bashed up kevin hammond, i think the boy can go all the way, what do you think could be a decent match for him this year?

    Hope so..........he is quality.


    He got a bit tasty (dirty) if i remember right in a previous fight (Kats/Mitchell undercard ?)

    Regardless.....he got mad tools.


    He does.


    Wish him well.

    Hope so. BJS seems suited to the Pro game. His use of angles, punch variety, hand speed and movement have all been impressive the last two times i've seen him. Punch placement and power have been good too. The two round stoppage of Kevin Hammond was another testament to what could prove to be a prodigious talent. BJS needs to be fast tracked IMO

    Has looked constantly good in all his performances..... Although it's time to step up, lets face it he just beat up a load of bums, but in an impressive style nevertheless.

    Hopefully he stays injury free and starts moving up the rankings and gets plenty of fights (hopefully shown live).

    He's improved a lot in his last few outings. Dropped a bit of puppy fat and is punching with more authority. His bodywork is pretty vicious.

    I'd like to see him in British title contention fairly sharpish. If you're good enough you're old enough and he's certainly too good to be fighting the guys he is.

    Martin Murray's fighting for the British title, so BJS may have to wait a while to be in contention, Murray's a decent opponent. I'm not saying BJS wouldn't be capable of beating him soon but it may be seen too much of a risk, I think they may wait till the title become vacant.

    So don't expect BJS fighting for the British title any time soon.

    Needs to leave Fwank! Go to Matchroom.

    BJS is the most talented fighter in the country, needs to get his weight down and get in shape though.

    He does look absolutely sensational at the moment. Can't see him being tested below championship class.

    I would love to see him fight Cello Renda. Would be a decent scrap.
