    Brilliant signing... He's young,a big puncher, mentally tough.. an excellent fighter who was robbed at the Olympics


    Anyone who follows the prospects at 147 can see it's highly likely that Welterweight wil go the way of many of the other divisions in being dominated by Eastern Europeans...

    Most of the best prospects at 147 are from that part of the world

    Egidijius Kavialuaskas
    Radzhab Butaev
    Ivan Golub
    Taras Shelestyuk
    Konstantin Ponomarev
    Khusein Baysangurov
    Eimantas Stanionis
    etc

    We'll see. Errol Spence is quite young, and I'd favour him over any of those right now.

    Perhaps it would be helpful if you gave us a description of each prospect in your list, strengths and weakness, rather than entering race-war-infested waters?

    It's obvious that the influx of EE fighters at the moment is really having an impact on the pro boxing scene, I just think you might be jumping the gun a bit.

    A pretty good list there. Still, Taras Shelstyuk just scraped by Jaime Herrera. Not a good sign.
    Egidijius Kavialuaskas just had a tough one against Cameron Kreal, who had a record of 9-12. Not a good sign.
    Ponomarev is OK, might get a belt at some point, but definitely not beating Errol Spence or Terrence Crawford, who will eventually move up.

    The rest of the list are barely prospects, lets give them some time to develop.

    Great!
    Now someone signs Petruaskas.
    BTW, no one robbed Stanionis, the fight was close and i tell you that i don't rate Giyasov too much.

    Me,too,kiwi! At this moment of time Spence would probably beat all of the mentioned names.
