The guy's trying too hard to look cool. Other than that he's actually got some natural talent. How experienced is he?

His guard needs to be up more. And his footwork isnt right. His legs cross over, hed be way off balance

Emm like 3 years and hes had a good number of fights

Our training at the gyms been suspended until next thursday for Easter but ill try and get a video of him sparring

Emm like 3 years and hes had a good number of fights

You joking right?

My coach wouldn't even let him spar if he came to my gym.

Thank **** /\

whats his record?

Hes only 15 and fought in championships over here which he has won both the novice and intermediate, 3 fights in one competition and 4 fights in the other. And has alot of exhibitions

You are joking right? Was that a serious session or was he mucking about

That was just him trying to look cool, we had finished training and there was only 3 or so people there and he was punching it wittout gloves on. I just thought it looked cool lol, when i punch the bag i think it looks clumsy but when im sparring i seem to look alright.

if hes won all that **** why does he need to look cool.

This is pretty hard to believe anyone with 3 years of training and all that behind him would think punching a straight punch where his elbow is so far above his fist looks cool.

Personally... I think the vid is a lil on the corny side, but... the kid does his thing in the ring, so i dont see a problem with goofing around after practice stuntin for the cam.. LOL I like that kinda ****

have fun, or go home

:)

for all the suspense before he hit the bag,u would think he woulda knocked it off the henge's

hahahaa

I know right

and its hard to take it serious with him having no gloves on also

If hes mucking about then fine theres nothing wrong with that but we cant really comment.

If thats a REAL video. theres a lot he needs to improve.

Footwork MAJORLY. He keeps dropping his guard, his punches, dont even come out right.

But if its mucking about then fine

He leans forward when he punches too, leaving his chin hanging in the air.

Theres ****loads if you want to go into it. look at his punches, he thros a striaght and his elbow is like 8 inches abuot his fist an hes like flicking it

Yep, now get your arse into the war thread you made.

Guys, this guy is playing around, but he's good. If you know what to look for, you can see he's got coordination, looseness and soforth. No one I've seen post something in here is as good as this guy, MAYBE with the exception of Versatyle, but that's a totally different kind of fighter.

If you can't see this kid is good, maybe you're not as experienced as you think you are. :)

well i alredy knew im not experienced but to me there wasnt much to go off. 15 seconds of random shots with hands down. who knows. good speed tho. but yeah punchdrunk i didnt see n e thing special at all i guess it takes a few more years to get the eye for talent.

Punchdrunk, man?! Dude look at the kid. Look at his footwork, its all over the place. He punches in a ridiculous manner. And doesnt have his guard up enough.

Are you seriously saying this kid is good

I'm seriously saying he's good. Not world class or anything, but talented. There are certainly things that needs to be improved, but show ONE fighter who doesn't need improvement. Bottom line is, he's got some of the qualities I would look for in someone you can develop into a good fighter.

yeh and hes 15. im glad to see someone can see skill punchdrunk, for a while i thought it was only me. and he was only messing about.

that foo is garbage.

that foo is garbage.

Did you eat the letter l on your keyboard or something? :kiss:

Well I dont rate his technique but I wont say any more than that.

Ok proceed to flame me.

Yo, I was just in London for some sparring for one of my amateurs. He sparred three pro's at the Pea**** Gym, and did pretty damn good against them.

What Gym are you at, maybe we'll come there in May before the EU championships? Do you have any good welters?

Maybe hes got stuff you look for.

But to say hes good is ridiculous. I know hes mucking about, but if you consider it was a proper video, I mean come on.

punches weird,
guards not up,
no footwork
to name a few

no-one keeps there guard up when there trying to showboat matt

His body mechanics seem to be flawed, as if he is only punching with his upper body, obviously, as was noted before, his guard is non existant and his hook seems to be too swingish.

If it was a serious go on the bag he should have it up

His balance does seem all right though, its his technical skills that are at question, but since he is showboating, I would rather see some more videos of him to make a judgement.

I'm not a pure boxing guy, so I'm just going to point one thing out.

Your friends hands were literally down by his side, and that's not good.

Thats what everyone pointed out, he had no guard.
