    Hyped up as the greatest thing since sliced bread, he has now proven himself to be no more than a contender at british level, not even good enough to win a british title and definitely not going beyond the domestic scene.

    Don't rate him, He's sparred world champions and had fair backing for a flyweight. He's won titles as a amateur but i ain't seen any great quality in his work.

    I mean it's not that hard to dominate the domestic flyweight/super fly seen is it really? there's only like 8-10 fighters in the country and none of them are world class/european level.

    As Mandy said, he has no quality in his work. Thats the beginning and end of his problems at domestic level. At the next level he has all kinds of issues, but offensively he's not good enough at this level to keep the likes of Bayaar at bay, heck he couldn't keep Robinson under wraps entirely. He seems to take a punch okay, he has good heart and fights every round well enough, but his punching is really poor at times. Not really thought out, lacking accuracy, not much leverage. Sloppy technique.

    He's done one decent thing, sparked a guy who was getting knocked around by Chris Edwards.

    Dreadful apart from that, IMO.

    Can't remember him being hyped up, he is domestic level and always will be.
