When was the last time you were truely amazed by a prospect

Usually im not one to buy into the hype of say Haye Povetkin Khan Degale or duddy

But watching these 3 prospects i was amazed and truelly belived that they can go all the way

Billy joe Saunders
Frankie Gavin
Darren sutherland - RIP

Unfortunetly sutherland is no longer with us but i do belive Saunders and gavin can be real world beaters.

So when did a prospect totally convince you they could be champions even if it turned out they were wrong

 

Sutherland was the one i was most hyped about.

 

Matt Korobov!

Close thread.

 

I would have bet my house on him cleaning out 168 - 175

 

When i first saw Gamboa, he was fighting Adailton DeJesus and i was just blown away by his speed and reflexes. Had my mouth hanging wide open.

 

Ditto on Korobov...

I though then and there he would already own Pavlik...



Andrey

 

Im hearing great stuff about Anselmo Moreno, haven't seen him fight yet tho

 

Thanks for saying nothing.

anyway Gamboa for me.

 

if i said nothing, thanks for pointing out nothing touche!!

 

He'd get stomped in 3 rounds, but I would like to see him step up to a top 20-30 type fighter. I think he's already at that level.

 

<------- Fernando Guerrero is a guy who amazes me in and outside of the ring. I mean let me drop something on you guys, in 3 fights he has drawn a combined live gate of over $500,000 yes half a milli. Thats because the guys means so much to the community, he visits the elementary schools, he talks to the children, hes a role model and he does all of those little things that just mobilize the support. I was at Salisbury last night when he fought tough competitor Ossie Duran. It was an exciting fight, cagey opening, but halfway through the fight you saw 2 guys slugging it out. Ossie was tough, got hurt a few times but came back and knocked Fernando down in the 8th I believe. But he eventually regathered himself and pulled got the decision. Again, he's a boxer-puncher with some defensive liabilities but that can be worked out with time, this was a learning experience for him, Im definitely looking forward to seeing even more from him. He's fought some really really tough opposition early, he's ready for that step up!:good

 

:yep:yep:good

 

Honestly, first time I saw Gamboa I guffawed. it was mind blowing.

 

Gamboa speed is phenomenal, you can teach that. He is a cut above the rest trust.
