    i hear a few people have wraps on him? whats the general consensus in the UK?
    can he live up to his dads legacy?

    With Fat Micks guidance he will still be stopping afrobums when he's 47! Hard to know with just the one fight, but he certainly could be great :rasta

    He's a smooth mover, full of feints and clever little shifts in power. His jab is exceptional, and he seems to be a punch-picker with every shot in the book at his disposal. Good hand and foot speed. Strong as hell. Everything!

    technically sound..but like his dad dont punch hard.
    expect lotta full distance fights...esp when he gets to that higher level.
     
  7. If he's not better than his mediocre dad, it'll be a disappointment.

    I've nit seen anywhere near enough of him to make a decent prediction. Some people are getting a bit carried away because of who his dad is IMHO.

    Only 1 pro fight against a punchbag doesn't tell me much, give it 10 fights then see where he is upto.

    He has only had one pro fight where I thought he looked ordinary inand limited amateur experience. Impossible to say at the moment.

    Its impossible to tell after one fight but listening to what people say that have sparred him, watch him train, etc, they all say really good things, so Im optimistic about him, be interesting to see how he develops as a fighter.

    I thought it was sloppy that he needed to be told to go to the body in his first fight when it was plain to see for the rest of us.

    That was my abiding memory of his first fight.
