Who gets your vote for Young Boxer of the Year?

I like my featherweights to be snappier but he can turn out fairly decent, I don't see him reaching the level of Arthur or Harrison though. I suppose he is one of the better prospects the Brits have right now.

Not seen McEwan yet.

 

Havent seen very much myself of McEwan myself just know hes 6-0(5) and with golden boy promotions but read alot about him and he seems to be destined for the top and thats according to the US press so fingers crossed.

 

also McEwan is trained by freddie roach so cant imagine freddie wasting much time with someone who hasnt the potential to go right to the very top.

 

Theres no such thing as the UFC threat.

Maybe In America but not In Europe.

 

See that Kevin Anderson is leading this poll.

He is fighting this Friday 14th September on Sky Sports 1 @ 10.00pm
if you want to see him in action!

 

how about john simpson now???

2 defences of his british featherweight crown and 1 robbed night of the WBU against derry. dirty *******. matthrews???

 

Think this poll is based on those nominated and announced by the British Boxing Writers Club and not ESB members as such - hence the noteable absentees!

 

Fewkey is the man. Was supposed to fight today in Sheffield but nobody wanted to stand up. But.... BIG fight scheduled next month

 

Paul Appleby for me too (although I voted Ando due to his tough choice of opponents)

Young Appleby has came on leaps and bounds so far, I think somebody mentioned the difference between the Higginson and Nagy fights already, the difference is huge. He was over in the US last year and was sparring with Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista at Roach's gym and they were all very impressed with the youngster so hopefully we'll see him in with some better opposition in the next year or two

 

who's he fighting next month?

 

Is that right? how is ando classed as young boxer?

 

Hi NOrth.

Yes - if you clink on the link posted by PrideOfWales on the first page of this thread it explains more.

From the list of nominees at least Anderson and Matthews were born the same year. Anderson is already 24 and Matthews will be this month - I can only assume this falls into the criteria for the award.

 

ando is the best choice still only a youngster

 

Gavin Reese: M'Baye was a world class fighter.
