The year that was...

he's moving along really well but i want to see his chin tested before anointing him the next star.

i think his chin wont be his strong point. just a hunch...

 

Tomlinson is definitely one to watch. I really like what I've seen so far from him.

 

the kimbrough fight was a step up but not "too big". that kid had hardly fought out of west virginia (not a boxing hot bed) and was coming off a draw against a guy who had lost 5 of his last 6. kimbrough wasn't a puncher either.

so not knocking, but it wasn't like will was put in with a beast. remember will was $1.30 fav and kimbrough was $3....betting doesn't mean much but the odds makers got that one right.


It's early days for will. he is young and is getting better and growing in confidence. good little fighter.

 

Valero - noooo :bart

 

Hopefully he'll get on some good cards and get decent prepation. I haven't seen bugger all all of him and cant comment on his chin.....lets hope its up to scratch so he can go hard with some decent fighters.

What do you think about match ups for him??

 

I'm surprised Valero is not made to book out ringside each fight because that's where his punches come from

When this guys gets in the ring with a fighter/ counter puncher he's dead......the guys always off balanced through most of his punching sets :rofl

He must be watching Vic's tapes of "ze killings"

 

will will be on green card again if he fights in sydney!
kimbro wasn't much bet a good ste up as stated.
needs to watch his guard and I too for some reason feel he may have a weakness on the jaw. no reason for saying this but when watching the fight just felt it.

 

It was a top fight and both blokes gave it their all. It was just tit for tat with Bolling taking the early rounds although they were competitive but Yannick soon adjusted and took the later rounds although they were also competitive. The knockdown sealed decided the fight in the end but still Yannick looked like he was ready to pounce if there were one or two more rounds. Both guys must have been ultra fit as I've never seen two guys go at it at that type of pace, especially in a division heavier than lightweight.

 

Absolutely agree about time, patience is a good thing. But you are making big statements about a fighter who's what 26-0, all by KO!!!

 

Ash, the blokes 26-0, all by the opponent 'feeling his power' as Vic would say and KO'ing them. What more do you want?

Your picking his style to pieces, yet he's the one doing the business.

I know forums are a place of opinion, but ****ing hell there's some over the top ones being banded about!

 

Actually Flamengo, based on this assumption of being a nice match, do you think 'Wild Will' could beat Lenny Zapp then?

I couldn't see Will beating Lenny? Good fight yes, but I see Lenny stopping him, hence Valero is a huge step up to a whole lot of other levels.
