Go? Seriously, how far can he go in the game? He's got the looks, looks the part in the ring, is with GBP, will probably fight on some massive undercards in the future... How far can he go? World champ or not?
I dunno, hard to say when he's in his third fight. I think possibly European level and become a world title contender in the future, but let's wait until he's properly tested which won't be for years.
Agree he definitely gets to European champion,maybe world top 10.Champions another matter altogether.Hasnt the Brazilian guy just gone pro?
He wouldn't get past the current best at british level in his division. BJS, John Ryder and Eubank Jr likely beat him. Even Eamonn O'Kane beat him fairly handily at the Commonwealths.
There's enough versions of the world title going around and he is capable if he progress's up the levels , If there was only one belt then no !
Put it like this if Barker can win one then im sure he can , its all about timing and choosing the right opponents at the right time
The kid is the middleweight paulie malignaggi, talks well, looks the part but damn the guy has pillows for fists
Nick Blackwell has only ever been stopped once. Bit unfair to call Ogogo featherfisted based on that!
I also think he lacks power. has speed and skills but doesn't look like he puts anything in those punches and against opposition like this I think he should def put more pressure on and come forward a lot more
I worry about his chin as he was hurt in the Am's a few times.. But he's got athletic ability, He had good speed and at times shows that touch of class. I think his ability to listen will be his best attribute. He's got top people around him and if he soaks up the knowledge and wisdom he can go far. Just needs to be careful when he goes all out for stoppage. But he's promising..
