    And fighting on terrestrial telly should really help his profile - especially if he can stay away from injuries and keep busy.

    Im liking Tyson, not just what he does in the ring but he's saying the wright stuff outside it aswell and seems to be a likeable character. Gunna be following him closely.

    Hi Ishy,

    Thanks for the info. I think that if he dedicates himself, he could
    have some real potential.

    BTW, does anyone have any info on heavyweight Tom Dallas, another
    UK prospect?

    His first fight he had very little training and was added to the bill very late, he looked in better shape saturday than then. Also Zeller has been in with a couple of decent fighters (Kretschmann in his last fight is capable), for only his 2nd fight he stepped up quite a bit, and he's only 20.

    I have seen both of his fights as a pro.He was in deadful shape for the first one but appeared fitter for his second bout,but still a little flabby.
    He has very fast hands for a heavy and isn't afraid to mix it up.His Dad seems to be a bit of a nutter though,the ultimate nuthugger if ever there was one.A good prospect to watch.

    Tyson looks good 4 such a young age and was good against a guy who had 21 k.o"s out of 23 wins.Yeah i think he has got 2 get in shape a bit but looks alot trimmer from only the 6th of december on the undercard of froch.Mick is saying he should be fighting again in about a month.

    Lack of power will be a problem for him at the higher level.

    Adding muscle and improving technique can help him there.
    Have to see how he goes with his current trainer.

    Bit surprised/disappointed his couldn't put the German down with all the clean shots he caught him with.

    He looks the part.I dont think all the attention will do him any good though,he should not be fighting on tv just yet.Get a year or so in the pros under his belt then bring him on tv.I think if they keep trying to make him a star too early he will come unstuck and never fulfill his potential

    His dad has made me dislike him already ready. If you didn't catch his comments, he said his son would "box Foreman's head off" or something like that, and that he'd stop Spinks, which is ludicrous even if it was Leon.

    they are pikeys, ihave never heard a pikey boxer not think they would knock out anyone in front of them,they have a very dangerous mentality that makes them seriously decent fighters.
    i like the look of him, he puts his punches together beautifully, has a really fluid style for a big man, he needs to develop some power though, which i think he will once he learns how sit on his shots a little more
