    I hope so but I don't think he is as tough or powerful as Katsidis.

    Will is only 27, undefeated and hopefully going places.

    So I wonder if Oscar will now tear up his contract or throw him to the wolves to be the token bum for new prospects to beat up on.

    Golden Boy tried to give Will an easy opponent to look good against and he failed miserably, it just goes to show how bad the standard of Australian boxing is considering Tomlinson was regarded as one of Australia's best talents.

    It's funny guys that are considered to be bums in America could come to Australia and dominate :lol:

    That i doubt very much , To dominate , they would have to fight , and we both know that NO ONE WOULD FIGHT THEM .

    Will Tomlinson is returning home this week after his disappointing US debut.

    “I’m frustrated not because I now have a blot on my record but because I know I should have been able to handle this guy, but just fought a bad fight,” he said.

    “I was in hospital getting sewn up and there were people coming in with gunshot wounds and whatnot, so that put it into perspective. I didn’t feel so bad,” he said.

    Tomlinson is contracted to Golden Boy Promotions for four more US fights. and said: “I’m a very persistent person - I’ll make it up to myself.”

    Tomlinson and Gartlett 2 promising young fighters beaten by ordinary opponents. Hope they can bounce back.

    Here's an idea, they should fight each other before proclaiming they are world class operators.

    I have to agree! Will is not a topliner as I said before maybe top 50-60
    definitely not top 10 or 20 no where near.will sold himself well and tge public got sucked in.i wouldn't have him in our top 10 Current P4P .I cant believe some people had him as our next big thing .God help him if he fights someone that can hit. He will get hurt bad with how much he gets hit

    He did enough to convince Goldenboy to take a punt on him.

    I had Klasson beating Tomlinson 116-111 that includes giving Tomlinson a 10-8 round for the bogus knockdown. I wonder if anyone from golden boy watched that fight.

    Golden Boy thought Billy dib had promise as well...how did that work out...Dib V Will in Aus is a good scrap since they both know they aren't going any further on the world scene
