    Looked good again tonight, didn't he? Great to watch, nice movement and he came across very well in the interview after. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on him.

    Yep, he's been fun every time I've seen him, except when he got knocked out in the first round.

    He's probably not quite fast or dynamic enough to pull off what is a very difficult style past British level, but its refreshing to see.

    He beat up an overmatched opponent since Facey pulled out. I don't know how the guy stayed upright for so long, he got pummeled and hurt many times.

    I think he's an exciting guy to watch, there are not many like him in British or even world boxing using that style. Love those hooks to the body.

    AS jim watt was saying you can see his movement is very similar to tysons looked good and was throwing some good shots. Hope he fights some better opponents soon.

    Hall looked really impressive, his body punching is excellent but as Ian Darke pointed out he's in a loaded division domestically with Moore. Rhodes, Price and Small.

    Agree with TFFP that he hasn't got the speed to succeed at the top level but he could make some noises at British and maybe Euro level. He's also an exciting fighter to watch and looks like he'll always provide entertaining fights.

    Small is a bit of a fraud in all honesty. I'd back him there.

    Pryce is improved, but he's still vulnerable to me. That effort against Olusegun was embarrasing, all he did was pressure him and wing in shots. If he can't land something big he would struggle with that sort of pressure and power from Hall.

    Moore would be a war while it lasted. Moore has the better chin, I think he'd outlast the young man.

    Rhodes would obviously cut him to ribbons, nightmare matchup.

    It's important he fights at 154 and not 160. He's already vertically challenged.

    I think he would beat Small - I don't rate him in the slightest.

    Hall will lose to anyone in the domestic 154 top 5/6.

    actually for a lad who only took the fight the night before i thought rushton put up a really good show.he showed some good moves in there and skills under real pressure,if he had more power he could have had hall in trouble.

    Not really, because Concepcion always had a glass jaw and was never a prospect so I was disapointed when Hall lost.

    I've sparred with him and watched many of his amateur fights including his stoppage of fellow prospect Ricky Goddings. He's far more versatile then he looks at the moment and a gr8 prospect.
