How good did this kid look.....sat Kimbrough down on his ass for his first pro loss.... He was very tenaciuos and had it all over Kimrough, outmuscling and punching straught and sharp. Anybody know Willie??
Will Tomlinson is top kid & has a massive future in front of him. Has some good boxing people behind him preparing him for the next level & this was a real coming out party for him. Hopefully in another 12-18 months he continue to rise & become a legit top contender. His desired weight i believe is super feather & not lightweight which is where he weighed in last night. I think a fight with Gairy St Clair who IMO is stupidly still fighting should be arranged immediately to further improve the young lad. Otherwise there is not much left on our shores at super feather unless he moves to lightweight & faces Ganoy type which may be a little too big for him at this stage. Its going to be tough arranging fights for him in Australia. His speed, reflexes, power & technique all look gold, just a little tightening on his defensive game & maybe a little less rushing in & i can see him going a long long way. He would have to be my Aussie prospect of the year!
Zappa may be in some peoples eyes beyond prospect now & actually a contender, but yes i would have him only behind Zappa as our top prospect.:good
Will trains out of BHS and does his conditioning alongside Lenny each day with us at the sports science centre. He's a good young bloke who trains hard. He lives with Kariz Kariuki, and does a lot of his sparring with Lenny, and Billy Dib.
Slide the word... 'even' .... favourably in O-O's direction. The pocket dynamo Tomlinson looked a little like Robbie Peden.. compact, powerful and precise.
Side note... your probably right but after talkin to Gairy at the Green V Jones weigh in im a big fan of his now... heaps nice bloke and was genuinly happy to have a chat and take a pic etc.... prob should hang them up but if he is goin to fight then i will be barracking for him none the less
