Prenice Brewer 13-0-1(7 knockouts) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-BviMFnCCc&NR=1[/ame] Good boxer with fast hands, reflexes, and height as a lightweight or Junior Welter at 5'10. Has the power to hurt his opponent rather than knock them out though. Also still young at 21 years old. Beat a fellow prospect in Micheal Jean Louis who alot of people thought would knock Brewer out. Needs to consistenly use his height and keep improving his defense. Here's another vid featuring Brewer against Louis.

Good power, fast hands, and has a good chin, but there is something missing with this kid. The thing is consistency and his lack of foot speed. He was down on the cards in two fight's I've seen from him but came back to win in both. Made a huge upset over William Kickett by knocking him out in the 6th round, but I had him down a point prior to the stoppage. He's more of a fast slugger than boxer. If he tightens up his defense, he could be a top fighter at 130 because he has a very good ratio of speed and power. Saul Alvarez 30-0-1(22 knockouts) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhpoOCD09bA&translated=1[/ame] A 19 year old kid who show's the technical skills of a fighter 10 years older. Doesn't have fast hands but has adequete speed and is a good volume puncher with power. I like the way throw's his combination and he doesn't get hit alot at all. I see him being more of a problem for people at Junior Welterweight more than Welterweight because he bring's alot of pressure that the Junior Welter's now couldn't handle. The problem's I see with him is that he is not fast and is not a one punch puncher. But I really like the pressure he bring's and the fact that he wears his opponent down with power shot's.
Damn I was just trying to see if there were any other prospects who weren't getting alot of shine. It would be nice to get some feedback.
What, you mean you wanna talk about boxing?! Don't you know, this is now the "sports drug testing forum"? Anyway, nice stuff. I'd never heard of Pernice Brewer... he looks interesting.
Excellent stuff. I'd never heard of Prenice Brewer and Adrian Broner had slipped under the radar aswell. Thanks.
Broner video won't work for me at the moment, but from what you've described, he sounds like a little Shane Mosley, in regards to the 'fast slugger' and 'speed & power' description. Would that be a fair reflection? How far do you think Brewer & Broner can go?
I've seen and liked Brewer before - he's got some serious swag; a crowd-pleasing style like that will take him far, if he comes forward more often. Broner telegraphs. A lot. You know when he's turtling, you know whether it'll be an up or down-jab, he grunts differently just before throwing a power shot, etc., etc., etc. His speed's great, but "you're looking for the one punch, baby!" and the discipline's not there. I think he's going to end up in the middle section of undercards. I'm ashamed to say it, but Alvarez had completely fallen off my radar. I love the patience and ring IQ of, like you said, someone twice his age. Someone who can control the distance well could give him problems, though. Plus, the aztec jaguar warriors are awesome.
Broner, from what I've seen on FNF, has a bit of a way to go. Obviously, that makes sense given his inexperience, but I wasn't blown away with what I saw.
He is getting shine and it's undeserved hype imo. Good all around fighter but nothing special, there are a couple at 160 who are better and who Jacobs will never be better than.
Various levels of experience: Sharif Bogere (LW) - a showman with a sense of humor and good stopping power. Still early in his development. [url] This content is protected [/url] (MW) - French-Cameroonian prodigy, will be the most tragic waste of talent in the early part of this century if his ballless promoters don't maneuver him toward contention while he's still in his prime. With a good trainer and some B-level opposition to practice on, he'd KO Pavlik and Sturm, IMO. Frank Trader (LW) - very early in development (but already slick, slick, slick...still probably not even close to stepping up, but it's been my privilege to watch him live at a couple of local shows. Let me tell you. Slick.) Alexander Frenkel (CW) - young German has been racking up early stoppages, not yet hearing the opening bell for an eighth round, and only being scheduled for more than eight once.
