    Joseph Pigford born May 12th 1993 is a 6'0 Light Middleweight with a 13-0 12 KO's record. Born in and fighting out of Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom. To be honest, I don't think Pigford is exceptionally talented, he'll probably get outboxed by the first truly skilled fighter he encounters, but... like with Lemieux, Joe Smith Jr. and fellow Brit ham and egger Sam Eggington, his power seems to be the great equalizer, and his, while only facing subpar competition, so far looks legit. He doesn't do anything particularly well, including defense, but like with Sam, he seems to have a solid chin, which is good since he walks around with his chin in the air basically asking to be cold cocked. He's kind of ham fisted in the ring, bad footwork, he swings wildly, although he does have a few decent fundamentals, like an okay jab, and can throw a punch straight on occasion, and he lands sneaky counter hooks here and there, but he's basically a heavy handed brawler, which personally, I'm a huge fan of, and damn is he heavy handed. So while his bacon might get burned when he steps up, as long as Frank Warren feeds The Pig a steady diet of slop he's never going to improve, he's been a pro for a while, so he needs to start taking some incremental steps up and correct some of his mistakes, and maybe he can turn into a real razorback killer in there. So Check Out The Savage Sadistic Southampton Saddleback Slayer in Action, The Pig Will Tear Your Ass Apart.:ggg:ggg:ggg:ggg

    He should thank the boxing gods they decided to bestow a good chin on him because they didn't bestow any ability upon him at all to avoid being hit. He's fun to watch but he eats punches like he thinks they're good or his health lol

    Pigford, a tough hard punching brawler with a lot of mettle

    Not the best boxer in terms of fundamentals, but boxing has always had a place for gritty brawlers

    As he moves up the levels he will struggle, but he certainly has power that earns people's respect

    Yeh I love pigford, although he will be the victim of one of the most brutal kos of all time once he steps up, he does deliver some brutal ones in the mean time! I would love for him to KO someone like smith lol in a huge upset. One of my favourite watches ATM is pigford

    War Pig was always a term me and my friends placed on disgusting (usually fat and butch but hetero in a weird way or did a good job faking it) and slutty broads that some of us would occasionally get too drunk and fall into their vicious traps on occasion.

    God he looks awful. I mean it looks like he never even trained in a gym, just got into a bunch of street scraps and barroom brawls and decided to start getting paid for it. Looks like his only gift is a solid chin -- that WILL get obliterated if he ever fights a skilled banger. I don't care how good his chin is. His power? He looks like he has some weight in his hands and I'd consider him heavy handed against the competition he has fought so far, but the more he moves up I think he will seem less heavy handed as he goes. He's a tough guy, legitimately a tough guy, physically and mentally. Problem is you need skill to succeed in this sport, as the saying goes "skills pay the bills" I hope he has a side job so he can pay rent because he won't even be able to buy a bag of skittles with the skills he got, or lack of.
