    Yep :lol::-(

    Big gap at super feather right now and he should be pushed on into big fights quickly. Honorio was a top 20 fighter, and he should continue with that level of opponent - guess he is just a hard fighter to market and get the big fights for (I like him, but he wasn't exactly TV friendly on his HBO appearance...in fact was it even shown over there, or just over here?). Still think he can become a 'world' champion...but he better hurry up before Velasquez steps up :yep

    Ive to be honest I dont think ive seen velasquez yet. Your right Mendez wasnt shown in the states, It was the week after Floyd-Mosely and they showed that intead of the undercard. If Honorio had won that he would have been in line for a title shot after his shobox wins but Mendez isnt pushing on now

    Let's just hope he gets onto Shobox or ESPN in the future to get his name out there. Velasquez is in my prospect team thing, looks quality - beat Gamboa in the ams :yep

    Some fella called Freddy "No Mark" Jones.

    I seen him fight once on Eurosport, in Germany. He won via a 5th round TKO, at Heavyweight.

    And he entered into the ring to this music. He was going to sure boxrec for displaying his record online, he said he wants no official websites displaying his record. He just wants to remain a "No Mark"..a stranger in the Night, and unofficial hero to the people.

    Always like watching Hillyard, he does a nice little pendullum shoulder roll.

    Tom Glover was a bit in that good little run he had. On the world scene probably vasquez jr but he's still young and can become a star in the future

    agree with this.

    his fight for the EBU title against Arnould shockingly went under the radar.

    I never knew about this fight until about 2 hours before he was due to fight.

    Thankfully I found a French stream to watch it.

    I do like the look of Rhys Roberts. Hattons unbeaten Super Bantamweight, hes only a young lad and his being brought along very slowly but he can fire off some lovely quick combination and he moves well for someone with his experience. Power is non existent at the moment but as he develops and become more experienced hopefully his power will grow.

    Look forward to seeing more of him.
