I will start off proceedings by showing some clips of an Australian Fighter named Jamie Pittman I think has a pretty good future. Olympian for Aus, who is a very quick southpaw. His hand speed mirrors that of anything Mundine live, to give people an idea. Record of 15 (7) and 0. The footage isn't the best you will find, but it is some sparring with some guy named Sakio Bika you may have heard of. It isn't the hardest sparring, but it gives you an idea of the problems he could cause. He fights much like Kessler as a southpaw, in that he relies heavily on his jab cross. He is very quick with his movement both in and out, and his hand speed is excellent. I have seen him fight live a fair bit, against some decent guys, and he is EXTREMELY hard to tag because of his style. I think with work he could definitely trouble Felix Sturm in particluar, as his style and quick movment would be very tough for anyone using a turtle shell defense. Anyway, have a look and tell me what you think:good He fights at 160 currently. From memory the second video is the more interesting of the 2. [yt]MTZJNNKuAe0[/yt] [yt]8VL9GWKQOpM[/yt]
Here is another one. Very good and fast young fighter named Willie Kickett. Fights out of Aus again, in the super light weight division. WHilst he needs some polish, his natural skills are awesome. You have to remember that the majority of our fighters don't get the amatuer experience that the US guys do, so their early pro career is very much a learning curve. He fights very naturally in the ring though, and has the natural talent IMO to certainly be a champ. Second video has a nice KO:good [YT]SPZw62ckoK0[/YT] [YT]N46M3KEGeBc[/YT] [YT]N2l_ppnIGpg[/YT]
Surely some of you guys must know some good prospects to look out for that are still mostly un heard of?
If you get a chance have a look at the last two videos on here of Willie Kicket. The guy is probably the most naturally talented fighter I have seen since a young Roy no joke. He still needs work, but the guy has freakish speed and power, I would love to here some of your thoughts on him as a fighter.
Pittman is nowhere as quick as Mundine, I think Jamie has talent but he will never been Mundine class.
He certainly is mate. I have watched them both live and Pittmans speed is unreal. PIttman is NOT throwing at full speed in these vids. If you watch his recent fights you will realise. He is not as effective a counter puncher as Choc, but his speed is very real, and his style is going to be very hard for anyone to adapt to.
Okay, i'll bump this again. Would love to hear some opinions ESPECIALLY on the second fighter shown, Willie Kicket. Unbelievable handspeed for a guy with limited amatuer and pro experience. A real talent IMO.
