Lenny Zapp... in 6 months...

Sounds like Lance could be the go..That is a fight Id like to see and if Lance could get a few more wins and his ranking back..It could be another Soliman-Hamden with the winner getting a solid ranking.

I think thats a very dangerous fight however...If he stops Lance, I guess people will say so what he is third person to do so. I tend to think how Lenny leaves himself open after punching and how he almost walks on to punches could spell disaster against a guy with the power, speed and style of Lance.

I was mentioning in another thread last week It would be good to see Lenny in with another guy of equal standing to him from the states or the U.K. A bloke like Paul Mcloskey caught my eye.

In Lenny I see a definite future top contender for some times to come with the possibility of being a titlist depending on how strong the division is. I dont really see the next Fenech or anything, at this stage I was more impressed with a young Shannan Taylor to tell you the truth.

But he is the last man standing so to speak when talking about the 125-140 prospects we had floating around over the last few years...He continues to show his class and ability.

 

I'd say Lance is a good fight for Lenny so that he can stay on a roll, if he beat Lance it would be beneficial for him to fight Lovemore over 10 imo. He wouldn't lose any credit from me if he lost to the black panther, yet if he beat him that would give him good grounding for a crack at a world top 30 fighter as well as giving him great exposure.
In 6 months with another good fight under his belt i would tip Lenny to SD10 Lovemore

 

I never considered Lovemore..If Ndou cant make 140 anymore (which I think he probably could as he was always a lightweight who just could shave that last little bit off as he got older) at least it could be at a catchweight a few pounds over.

That would be a very good name on Lenny's record.

 

There is just no way IMO...Unless Lovemore has seriously faded, and quickly, recently.

He is vastly more experience and the savvy shows..but put quite simply he is one of the toughest fighters of this era. His chin is top shelf and I think especially his recovery powers are almost Saad Muhummed-ish.

Lenny isnt as good as Cotto..nor does he hit as hard. He doesnt hit as hard as Cintron, Witter or possibly even Juarez aswell.

I just dont see it...

 

I would back Lovemore to KO Lenny plain & simple.
I really like Zappa but he does not have huge resistance & will get hurt bigtime by something from N'dou.

 

To me you just described a young Miguel Cotto....and I think it is quite evident Lenny is no Cotto and probably never will be.

Lovemore made it to the final bell against Miguel and had his best moments of the fight later on after taking some vicious shots, especially to the body.

I dont think Lenny is that unpredictable, though he has a good kit of punches. To be quite honest I just watched a few rounds of that fight again tonight and Lenny was landing very little on Gairy...he had him under wraps with all the advantages he held over him but I feel he had a pretty low connect rate last night.

 

Ndou in 6 months is far too big a leap for Lenny IMO saying lenny would stop Lovemore is kinda interesting to say the least! Get Gostellow next, Zap has plenty of time on his side and plenty to learn. There is no need to rush

 

i think lenny is a great prospect but thats what he is a prospect, its a massive jump up to fight lovemore, were talking about a guy whose versed cotto, witter, malinaggi, sharmba mitchell and kermit cintron he came up short in all fights but he did has his moments and he is very experienced fighter at the moment he could eat lenny up, everyone thought rabah would beat ndou and that didnt go to script... right now lenny just needs to keep fighting people that will test his skill, then move on to people that are fringe world class in a year or 2

 

theres plenty of aussies for lenny to clean up first.....leave lovemore to last....

Look for Ranee Ganoy to join Grange Boxing soon and call out Zappa.

 

Good stuff.
I dont think Zappa's team would take the fight yet.:yep
