    A good welterweight prospect to look out for FINITO is a South African called Bongani Mwelase.

    Thanks for the tip on Jones, will keep my eyes on him :good

    He looks good on paper because he can obviously bang with 12 KO's from 13 wins and 13 fights, and he's a 6'0" southpaw, but he's been down a few times to less than stellar competition, mostly from South Africa.

    He did stop the half decent Ali Nuumbembe, but he weighed in at something like 154 for the fight, therefore I don't expect to see him at welter any longer.

    Yup Mike Jones is scheduled to fight Mosley in June.. This guy is pretty impressive..

    His last two wins were by quick knockouts against Dairo Esalas and Luciano perez so he's not fighting bums like most prospects.

    A 5"11 philadelaphia fighter.. He nearly broke Perez' neck on Telefetura a few months ago. GUy has a mean left hook.

    Fair comment, although Lucky Lewele was half-decent too and only in Mwelase's 9th pro fight:good

    Better prospect than say, Selcuk Aydin

    So you too weren't impressed with Aydin? Personally I thought that was about as lackluster of a win as you could get. I felt like he went out of his way to negate just about every possible advantage he had.

    Oh was it Lewele? I thought it was some other guy who had him down twice. And perhaps, I don't really think much of that Aydin. Bit of a nut but nothing special.
