    I'd like to see the big man do well, at the end of the day he's been beat by two cheats and has been dealt a bad hand.

    I also don't think he was managed correctly when he was coming through.... you can't match him with domestic level opponents he was blowing away and then throw him in with a world level operator like Thompson was at the time, the gap in level wasn't bridged.

    For now, I can't see him being risked in a 'serious' fight until a big name becomes available in a money spinner e.g. AJ.

    He may not have the greatest set of whiskers, but he has a bomb of a right hand and on any given night if he connects with any heavyweight on the button it could be lights out.

    From hearing Coldwell speak, the below are what they have been working on and I definitely think need addressing.

    1. His mentality. He zapped himself especially in the 2nd Thomson fight burning nervous energy struggling to deal with the pressure on his shoulders, causing him to tire.

    2. His jab. He needs to throw a ram rod snappy jab, at the minute he's just pawing it out there. He's a big bloke that can bang, put some meat on the jab and make openings for the big right hand.
