    He's impressed me so far but it's early days, is Ushona any good?

    I am going to leave it until tomorrow to make judgement on how good he can be. I hope he does well and wish him the best of luck though.

    This may be a good fight for Denton he was hit far to much by Purdy and this guy by sounds it quick and awkward. Not seen anything of him and tbh i sit back and see what unravels. Should be ok Denton comes to fight so that's good thing.

    He's not impressed me tbh. The first time i saw him i remember saying, gawdammit it's not a crime to try and avoid some punches, lol. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong tomorrow. But getting hit as easily as he does is not a good look, especially when you're a pressure fighter. Fighters like that tend to get found out quickly. I've also detected a little slurring in his speech.

    Yeah totally agree and not good to be slurring with your speech when your a professional person. If he wants to make a go of this sport he's gotta sort out his defence. They said he's based himself on Tyson...well prime Tyson'd defence for such an aggressive fighter was phenomenal. To many guys try to be Mike but don't have a clue what he was good at.

    Denton looked good when he was coming up against journeymen. I guess its because he has a bit of natural ability and speed, compared to them he looked superman. But yeah, against Purdy there were concerns even to consider him against the best of British.

    I'm somewhat enthused by the fact this Afro guy has few KO's. It suggests that maybe he's got a bit of a clue about how to box unlike many of them with KO records. But we'll see.

    Ushona has a win over Nummbembe which is pretty good but he couldn't get rid of Phillip Kotey who looked like just born horse against Kelly Brook. I'm bracing myself for a let down.

    He isn't crap. He fought a very good opponent tonight that guys like Matt Hatton would also struggle with. He should get quite a bit credit for grinding this one out against a guy that was clearly pretty talented. Not a smooth performance by any means but a very good learning fight.

    No mate he's crap, and you'll see exactly how crap when Watson does a number on Purdy. If Matthew hatton is what he has to aspire to he may as well chuck it in now
