    for me the peformance of the night i thought he moves very well for such a big lad and can clearly punch i think he will have no problem making the switch over and he def has the potential to do well at Cruiser he would prob beat Mcphilbin and Leon Williams now i hope he turns over theres nothing else for him to do.

    Fair one he's won the national ABA's but ****** Baister would take him to pieces at Cruiser so would Vallily

    & he wouldn't stand a chance with Danny Price....calm down a bit Jumah's a really good prospect to say he's the "saviour of the cruiserweight division" is a bit of a stretch

    When?

    Baister boxes at 91kg, last time he boxed nationally (I think) was the GeeBee champs & he stopped Ben Illyumi

    If they both turned pro they'd meet at cruiser which is 90.8kg/200 pounds

    Or Jumah could drop to light-heavy but I doubt he'd make 175 pounds

    Baister, Vallily & Price are all better than him at the moment

    he hasnt been boxing long and i think his style will work very well in the pro game i dont think he will have trouble adapting he also has the power to trouble any fighter imo

    You dont know that as theyve never boxed and i honestly think being on the GB set up can hamper people when they turn over as they find it hard to make the switch.
    Thats why Groves has achieved more and done better then Degale maybe why someone like Brook is having more succsess then Frankie Gavin and id bet my house on it as a pro Ian Weaver will do better then Luke Campbell.
    People think just because Jumah hasnt had tons of intrnational experience he cant go far as a pro which is wrong because the bloke has only been boxing a few years and look what hes achieved in such a short space of time hes a natural and a very fast learner.
