    Very good win tonight against a tough man in Dave Fergusson. Came across really well in the post fight interview also.

    British Champ in the making?

    I was impressed. Not really seen him before, just picking up bits about his story now.

    Wish he was a lot younger, but my interest is piqued.

    If he wants to win the British he will have to get whoever he is fighting out of there early, which he is able to do it would seem.

    I wish him the best, gets a lot of flak, but he does seem like a good guy and is a interesting addition to the domestic heavyweight mix.

    Always comes across as a nice guy. Looked like he could box a little bit for the first time since I've seen him. Still there are question marks over his stamina. I don't think he'll win the British anytime soon, but it's good to have another decent heavy around.

    Seems a top bloke but in reality I don't see him becoming champ. He's too raw, goes looking for the stoppage too much and I feel a fighter who isn't **** scared of him will easily find those holes. Plus looking at him you;d have to guess that he'll be ****ed after 4 rounds.

    Saying that he'd probably smash Fury

    :lol: I hope this doesn't turn into some sort of Calzaghe/Khan type hate towards Fury ;)

    Against Peret, Olu was gassed after two rounds. But I think he went 6 recently and won? But yeah, his stamina will be a problem in the future IMO.

    Pretty crude and knocking on a bit in age.

    I agree with all of this except for the bit about Fury.

    Lets not get to excited Daniel Perrett beat him. His defence was suprisingly good tonight though

    He's very, very crude, but seems like a nice chap.

    Things to bear in mind.

    -He looks the part

    -He can whack

    -He'll gas after a few rounds.

    He'll get a pretty 'meaningful' fight in the next few months IMO, be it against Fury, Chisora or Sexton. He's a night off for them, whilst still beating a guy who looks in shape and will come to fight all night, even if he can only manage 2 rounds.

    Dallas would probs outbox Larry O IMO, though against that level of fighter (and to an extent Price, who looks embarrased with his opposition and has been consistently underwhelming even taking that into account) Larry O has a very good chance of taking them out early. He can definitely bang, even if his delivery is poor.

    But at least he tries.

    He should avenge his loss to the man in my Avatar as a keep busy fight before he does anything else.
