    Not really, the Matchroom stable is looking pretty thin domestically these days. He’s got Wood in Nottingham but that’s about it.
    Very correct on that. Do you think all things considered that they likely regret losing CBS, for example? Obviously Boxxer haven't got a tremendous return out of him yet but from the reaction to the arena fights they'll probably do well at the Vitality in the summer you'd have thought.

      Completely agree with the second part. Did he ever box as a senior? I only ever remember him being in junior comps.
      I'm fairly certain that he didn't have any senior bouts. If he has, couldn't have been more than a handful. I don't have high hopes for him.

        I reckon so yeah. They missed a trick with CBS. I don’t think many people thought of Bournemouth as place to build a fanbase- me included, but they turn out for their own.

          I was thinking the same mate. Would definitely be a lot better for his development to do at least one year in the seniors. He’s turning pro having only ever fought kids essentially.

              Really good fight. I saw Lopez leapfrogged Paro in the WBO, which seems like a bit of a farce. Have to think Paro would be favoured here, reckon he can stop him?

              WBO seems a good route to a title, Puello is surely a sitting duck unless I underestimate him. Plan to bring a title fight to Australia, win and defend against Spark do you reckon?

                Tbh, I don’t think I’ve seen anything of Liam Paro as opposed to that mismatch he had last time out. RDJ has been found out almost every time he’s stepped up though so if Paro is a legit contender he should win comfortably.

                I could see Tank facing Puello, he’s definitely the low hanging fruit at 140 and I think he’s with PBC, would be an easy way to get Tank a legitimate world title at 140.

                  Fun fight, I'm confident Paro stops him. I've won money on Davies Jr losing in the past.

                      Probably not, no way Galahad could make 126 anymore. Unless Ball is moving up but Galahad last fought at 135.
