Is this the next big heavyweight?

No, don't you know that its illegal for there to be good heavyweights from Europe. And I don't that a freight train would fail to KO Pudar and Shufford.

He's pretty good. Not great, but could be a top guy in the division. Maybe the best HW prospect I've seen recently but sadly that's not saying much. He has good handspeed and very good power on his left hand. Pretyy good reflexes. Pretty one dimesional in terms of boxing skills though. Can do a wicked body punch however . . .

Yeah, he fought down here on the Gulf Coast a year or two ago, he isn't particularly tall but he has a pretty good punch, not great mind you, but pretty good, he looked kind of sloppy but he has had a year or two to get a bit more polished...

Ahh, the secret is out! Yes I am the announcer in Kenner, Gulfport, Biloxi, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Memphis and so many more cities in the Gulf South!

I thank you for your kind words, I try to give every fighter an introduction like it was his (or her) shot at the title.

I believe the announcer is an extension of the show itself, basically, the promoter hires me to make the fight sound as exciting, and as big time as possible after all, he is bringing a SHOW to town. I also view my job as a time honored tradition, as much of a part of the sport as the ropes, I mean - even the Romans had announcers for their gladiators to make them sound larger than life! And that is my job, I have to make everyone watching think this next fight is going to be the best fight they have ever seen...

Never seen any fight of this guy yet, but his record is very impressive.

Is this the next big heavyweight?
