    Yeah agreed Billy. Naseem will alwasy be the yardstick for fighters like this especially in the UK but he had DEVASTATING power which Al Maachi doesn'tseem to have. Also his reflexes didn't look THAT good IMO. I could be wrong but i'd like to see more form him

    I've had my eye on him every since he destroyed a 2-0 prospect from my gym.

    He looks pretty good.

    Yassine's a cool cat. Sometimes he's a little reckless, but he's going to give anyone he fights a hard time. He has a lot more confidence too than his earlier fights which will make him hard to beat.

    He does have very respectable power too. Whilst not quite Wayne Alexander or Naseem Hamed in the power department, he hits hard enough to hurt most opponents. He absolutely battered Jamie Ambler, hurt him and stopped him in 3 rounds - and Ambler is now a light heavyweight!!

    He is certainly a colourful addition to the welter/light-middle divisions and all prospective opponents should take him very seriously.

    i watched him against mcdonagh and he was a good fighter then, very awkard but had tons of power behind his shots. Havent seen him since but i knew his record was worse than he is back then.

    Bradley Pryce knocks about on these boards a bit, Fancy it Brad?

    What's his rankings like Jeff? Can he get near a Britsh eliminator?
