I haven't seen alot of Demetrius, but he did look promising from what I have seen. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him. I think Norwood will be a good fight for him.

Highlight-reel knockout power? I can recall one good knockout he had, but let's not lie and call this dude a knockout artist.

I forgot all about Dhop. never saw him as anything particularly special, but he is a decent fighter. He's got a ways to go before he can step to the likes of the best WW's currently. Of course I expect those guys to be gone by the time he could be in range of any title shots though.

Seriously. He was being criticized even in that fight for not fighting with killer instinct before he nearly killed Warrick with a right hand. God, I love how much Tessitore freaks out in that fight when that happened. That made my mind up that he is second best behind Jim Lampley.

No, Norwood is unacceptable as an opponent. He was unacceptable when I thought this fight was going to be at 140. He is a former featherweight champion who got destroyed by Johnny Edwards recently. Yeah... nothing acceptable about this at all.

I never thought much of him as a fighter personally, he displayed limited power against limited opposition. I was supprised he was rated so high. Now he beats an old featherweight and I bet they give him another high rating.

He has the skills of a good fighter, but seemed to have no idea what to do in against a top fight like Holt. I think he sees the sport as not get hit and hit more than a boxer who wants to be elite should.

You have to be willing to get hit at some points in the fight, and his biggest goal seemed to be avoiding that.

D.Hop gotta step it up.....he been going through some PERSONAL things that has affected his boxing but hopefully those things are behind him and he can carry his career like his uncle has done.....I wanna say go D.Hop but he has to show me that he REALLY wants to be in the fight game, so far he hasn't shown that.....I wish him the best but I'm riding with Mike Jones in Philly.....Mike is the city's future imo!!

How tight would it be if the prospect system wasn't in place, and they would fight each other like Pavlik and Miranda did for a shot at Taylor?
