Dont you think his lack of power is due to his stance.He doesnt really use his legs a lot yet that's where power should be generated.He throws arm punches but if he could move as he throws shots I think he would probably improve

I think it's mainly because he is small for his weight, if you look at him, hes a chubby guy. I saw him yesterday and he was twisting into his punches, diving in with lead hooks, and still could not do anything. I agree he could throw more body behind his punches, but his stance does allow the opponent to come onto his punches, and make silly mistakes and expend energy(hitting air) which thus lowers the punch resistance.

Deffo. He was even talking about moving down a weight after the fight.

Yeah he is the british version of Paulie Malignaggi and with more losses.

It was a joy to watch last night though, really enjoyed it.
