    If you watch him against Barrie Jones he waited and played counter puncher.

    Ive only seen these fights of him so i might be wrong about his style.
    I've seen the same fights as you.

    I was most impressed against Barrie Jones. I think Barrie Jones was the best out of his opponents as well to be honest, most talented at least.

    I don't think Kell is pressure fighter at all. He was just so much better than his last three opponents that he could just blow them out.

    He punches very straight and seems to have the knack of finding people **** on the chin. He does leave his own up in the air at times.

    I think he should drop down to 140. In the new age of the welter, where we have middleweights and light-middleweight boiling down to fight there, he might be marooned between weight-classes at the top-level. So, drop down I say. If possible.

    He is a world-class prospect. He needs to be matched tough now, he has completely ****d the british domestic fighters, Jennings is the only one left.

      Is the fight with Jennings on or off? I've heard different things.

        Agree with all this.

          You know i was just thinking about it i dont think Jones is as good as Mcintyre, Lomax.

          Mcintyre beat Kevin Anderson 2x, Lomax did well in prizefighter and beat Ted Bami.

              One thing I noticed about Brook--one of his nicknames is Special K.

              I guess that doesn't have the same meaning in the UK?

                I think Barrie Jones is mismanaged.

                He also holds a win over M'Baye, whether or not he got it is another thing. From that fight and the fight with Brook himself, I rate him above the others. He has some nice boxing skills. As does Lomax, albeit with the pop of a 12-year-old girl.

                  I dont know that much about Jones because ive only seen him in the recent prizefighter and against Brook, but i would respectfully question whether his Boxing skills. I have no idea how he could of beat someone like M'Baye, so maybe im missing something with him.


                  Mcintyre seems to be a better Boxer from what ive seen of the two.

                    Probably our best prospet. Gotta admit i creamed my pants a little when he KOed McIntrye in a round but hes still got a lot to work on.

                    He hangs his chin out to dry and doesnt move his head enough. Need to see him against someone with genuine power. Also looking forward to the Jennings fight as all his previous opponents have stood in front of him whereas Jennings moves well.

                      Honestly, he looked good against M'Baye.

                      Obviously, he's no world beater. But he is good. And is mean't to have had a good amateur pedigree like Lomax. He actually troubled M'Baye with his punches.

                      I think he went to that Prizefighter on the back of two days notice or something ridiculous.

                      Why am I leaping to the defence of Barrie Jones? lol. Honestly, I'm not related to the guy or anything.
