Hey Canada, you've got a homegrown heavyweight prospect.

Yea, Simon Kean looks promising.
I read in local press in QC that he's not an angel also, I think he's already been incarcerated and almost went back by violating his parole by breaking his curfew and got in a brawl and threaten to kill someone lol
So he has that natural aggressiveness and toughness that that old school heavies had

I think his next fight is in January at the Bell Centre for the Canadian Heavyweight Championship against a hard punching Nigerian

He's with Camille Estephan's Eye of the Tiger Management, David Lemieux's promoter, who just bought Interbox, so he's in good hands


Kean still needs some skill honing, at least 12 to 18 months before he can take on a top 15 contender

 

Has some amateur pedigree, physical attributes, in good shape. Yeah definitely someone to follow.

 

Canada has some other very interesting prospects

Steven BANG BANG Butler 21yo 154lbs 18-0 15 ko's
Custio Clayton 29yo 147lbs 10-0 8kos
Erik BZO Bazynian 21yo 168lbs 14-0 9kos

Plus other local haitian and romanian up and comers

With the household names that we already have and the new generation that's coming, many over her in QC talk about a Montreal "golden age" thats about to start

 

Yes I've heard about Teslenko but I never had a chance to see how good he is
From Ontario there is also Brandon Cook at 154 30yo 17-0 10kos

In January at the Bell Centre we're gonna see Steven Butler vs Brandon Cook , so thats an intereseting local matchup

I expect in the not so distant future to see Simon Kean vs Oleksandar Teslenko too


Good times ahead for us canucks )

 

Looking at Keens wiki... He beat Yoka in 2012 which is impressive, but was starched by an Ecuadorian chap. Could potentially have some chin issues.

 

Got KOd by this guy: http://boxrec.com/boxer/646375

I had hopes for the Colombian even after his loss to Gibson but he doesn't seem to be taking his pro career seriously.

 

Yeah, he should be given the benefit of the doubt. And the guy who KOd him(Perea) was a pretty good amateur.

 

Against Atg amateur Savon and Tua was a teenager fighting at 91kgs

I don't see the relevance when this guy was getting starched by bums as a grown man

 

Let's be honest. Canada doesn't have anyone. We're literally dead in the water when it comes to boxing.

 

yep yep He looks pretty good

Hopefully the light welterweight Artur Biyarslanov turns pro soon too he's a real talent & got robbed badly at the Olympics

 

Yep u are lol
But Quebec has some

Theres two good cards every month in QC, from EYOT , Interbox, Gym and Rixa promotions

Unfortunalty the rest of Canada doesnt seem to care about boxing.

 

Custio Clayton looks decent, and he's involved in a still viable boxing scene in Montreal.
