    Hard to tell with him at this point.

    What can be said is that he entered the fight with the wrong attitude and nearly got caught out. I think in that half hour of boxing he aged years experience wise. I think he came back well and those uppercuts are something to behold.. especially a they are coming from a 19 year old.

    He definitely has the makings of a world champ.. just needs to conentrate and work on being on the back foot a bit more, as he can't go back to beating up bums in his home country again.

    If he's 19 and has 30+ wins or whatever it was, i'd love to see the win % of his opponents.

    Not that bad actually 17 of his opponents have winning record and 14 had a 75% win rate with at least 10 wins. They have been clever opponents to make his resume look better then what it actualy is but he has beaten decent guys like Euri Gonzalez, Michael Rosales and Miguel Vasquez.

    It's actually hard to remember he's only 19. He's a year younger than me and mixing with some pretty good competition. I don't know anything about him though, he did look good, and considering he's not even anywhere near his prime, I'll look out for him in the future. The main reason I am posting though is to check my vcash after last night's win if I'm being honest.


    Ooooooh, 3066!!! I'm living comfortably now. Might upgrade my car or maybe do up the house with my profits.

    I've always wondered, can your species actually fly properly, like eagles and seagulls? I know ducks can like fly across water, but can you fly to like your lake to the other lakes?

    I think I have mate. Sports Cafe in piccadilly, I e-mailed them, but they e-mailed me back saying they think the fight hasn't been confirmed yet :lol: I almost lost my ****, what kind of sports bar doesn't know about this, especially since Khan is quite a big name here. But I replied saying it's live on ITV, so they should be showing it.

    Don't have a ****ing clue. You can get to it by the underground though, but if you have your hotel near Upton Park you'll either have to get a taxi back or trek it. It might be close though, I dunno. It looks like a quality venue though.

    It's pretty far, will be a 40 minute journey on the Underground with changes, and that's if the right lines are running that weekend.
