Kevin Rooney Jnr - Debut this weekend

The son of Tyson's old trainer turns pro at 154, and the old man will train him.

Kevin is or was a very good trainer sure he still is. Never know with father son relationships in corner/gym but he's in good hands with his father.

 

If he's half as good a fighter as his old man was....he'll amount to **** all

Good trainer was Kevin, but no great shakes as a fighter. Only notable thing he did was get decapitated by Arguello, which I have to admit is pretty cool.

 

4 round UD over David Navarro (0-2)

 

I saw the fight, not bad but nothing exceptional. Good left hook but iffy defence.

 

yea cos unless your a superstar, world champion etc theres no point in boxingatsch

 

I never said that, but certainly not the kind of 'pros'pect'that I imagine will warrant any threads of his own.

Rooney is massively overrated as a fighter, based on his accomplishments as a trainer, that's all.

 

He fights with his chin hanging out to dry and at 26 yo I can't see him getting too far.

 

Didn't realize he was 26, other than the name not really one worth keeping tabs on.

 

He'll probably get a wee streak going because his day job is working with a promoter but I think getting shown on FNF may be his career highlight.

Just realized, last night you never mentioned Chinese food:think
How peculiar!:yep

 

Did you get a Choi Mein in Gaz?

not bad for his pro debut

definatley a bit of potential

 

the guy who he was fighting was 0-2 being stopped both times and had only won 2 amatuer fights (was 2-7?) so hardly anything to write home about.

 

It was his pro debut......................he appears to have lots of potential, but it's too early yet........
