I've seen most of his fights, and while I had a fair bit of hope during his amateur days, what I've seen so far doesn't bode well.
He's fighting cream puffs and yet he's already been hurt in numerous fights. His last fight was a ****ing disaster. He kept getting caught with the same shot, from some Korean hack, and getting really shook up. I was sure he was getting stopped about three times during the fight. Not only that but in one of his older fights, he came in against another hack, and got dropped hard in the opening round.
He's got the ability, but whether he has the right mindset, the right discipline and the right patience remains to be seen. It also looks as though, a bit like Willie Kickett unfortunately, while he might have the speed, skill and ability, he lacks the chin and a good punch.
The patience and mindset seem to be lacking too. He should have boxed the Korean dude stupid. He had a massive height and reach advantage, the speed to make the guy look stupid, and the ability too. And yet he would get into these pointless exchanges and caught with big counter shots. He could have stopped the guy if he had sat back, been more patient, used his reach and jab and set the guy up, and walked him onto shots. Instead he was getting set up and caught.
So, what do you ****s think?
Edit: I tell ya what though, Aussie boxing is really in the ****ter. We've had some good looking prospects lately, Kickett, Omotoso, Zappa, Dib, Tomlinson....and all are basically turning out, or already have turned out, to be sorely lacking. We've got nothing looking good for the future. With the imminent retirement of the little legend Vic, what's next?
