GB Olympian's debut verdict.

[Chunk..]

I wasn't overly impressed with any of them to be honest. Gavin looks like he could progress into something. His body shots were impressive IMO.

The jury's still out on De Gale and Saunders.

I didn't see the Jefferies fight, so can't comment on him yet.

[P4P Opinion]

So I managed to watch 4 of our debutant Olympians over the weekend, all four won three by TKO.

On friday Tony Jefferies @175, looked sharp and has good tools didn't really get tested defencively as you would imagine but looks to have a Pro style and was rocking the guy with Jabs, the opposition wasn't much as you can imagine with a debut fight but he was at least a LHW/SMW, could be a good prospect in a couple of years.

On Saturaday on the Roach Vs Skelton undercard

Billy Joe Saunders @168 looked very good, great work to the body had to really because in typical Warren fashion he was fighting a LMW, will probably end up at LHW given that he's going to be to big for SMW once his body matures. very impressive.

Frankie Gavin @147 Again looked good and has a slick pro style, probably the most naturally Pro of the four, patient and heavy handed, but again fighting a LW in Warrens usual bull**** style. looks good, most genuine stoppage of the 3.

James De Gale @168 Again fighting a LMW, woefully unprepared for the pro game, jab is terrible, short of idea's, poor footwork, doesn't get his right hand back up after he punches (he's a southy) and spends more time admiring his punches than he does throwing them.

Unless he starts listening to his trainer he's not going to last long, anyone with any ambition would have beat him last night but he was lucky that the other guy took 3 1/2 rounds to work out that a gold medal doesn't = a great pro fighter.

Saunders at 168? Probably ending up as a light heavyweight?

haha i thought that, he was at 154 wasnt he?

also gavin was at 140, and id think de gale was at 160 not 168 but not 100% on that one

saunders will prove to be most succesful i think , probably the least pressure on his shoulder of the 3 and the best style for the pros

[badnewsbrown]

degale looked ****e. gavin looked the best out of em but has no power at all, even against a featherweight

[hammerhiem]

Saunders at 168? Probably ending up as a light heavyweight?

Yeah and he looked like he's only going to get bigger, he's sprouted since the Olympics.

I can see JDG being the next Audley Harrison, i never liked him before last nite having heard him on the Bunce show and after that Fight and interview he drops another notch


Sutherland is the best of the bunch tho he comes from Ireland
