Guys to look for from the Dirrell-Abraham undercard this weekend.

[hateinyaeyes32]

I saw some pretty good looking prospects and others as well this weekend,

Lateef Kayode (Hollywood, California by way of Nigeria)- Trained by Freddie Roach, improved his record to 11-0 (10 KO's) with the stoppage of Chris Thomas in round 4... Made his debut at cruiserweight at 198 1/2, his previous fights were at heavyweight at like 206... Looked impressive under the tuteledge of Roach as was expected, but looked to me like he could have ended the fight sooner if he wanted to.

Dominik Britsch (Neckarsulm, Germany)- Middleweight who improved his record to 18-0 (7 KO's) over Matt Berkshire (10-1-1).. Got the second round stoppage but his record doesnt show just how powerful I think this guys shots are..

Vernon Paris (Detroit, Michigan)- Improved his record to 20-0 (13 KO's) with the Unanimous Decision over Oscar Leon, fighting at light welterweight. Didnt look as impressive as he usually does for some reason but this is a guy who if he sticks with it and keeps working as hard as he has been, will definitely be a potential contender for a title in the future.

Ronald Hearns (Detroit/Southfield, Michigan)- Now 24-1 (18 KO's), he looked rather boring in a UD over a less than worthy opponent to say the least, 26-42-2 Marteze Logan, but he has true boxing skills just like his old mad, and is another guy who could become a world champion if he stays with it. The first time I saw him live he knocked his opponent out in the first 30 seconds.. Definitely some power in those hands.

I also got to meet Hearns and his father, Freddie Roach and Kayode, as well as Antonio Tarver before he broadcasted, and some others. Great time!

Hearns and Paris will never be champions. They are good but they are a step below world class. Hearns has no power and he is fragile.

Paris has no discipline inside or outside of the ring.

The guy has been shot, stabbed and had 2 wins overturned for being a pothead. He said he left Detroit to get away from the trouble but in Florida he got arrested for beating up a woman and he now is right back in Detroit.

His corner comes to the ring with gear that says "Vernon Paris - Crime Family"

Obviously beng shot, stabbed and thrown in jail didn't make him realize it was time for change.

Britsch and Kayode were much more impressive imo.

If anyone has future championship ability it is Kayode. He is big and strong for the weight, has a good trainer and fights in a division that lacks talent.

yep i was kinda disappointed in paris' performance over the weekend, but he still has undeniable talent. he's too ****y in the ring and relies too much on his power.
IF the light ever turns on and he keeps his nose clean, he could be a future champ. big if though. im hoping he gets his sht together, but at least he's staying busy. 2 fights already this yr and he's fighting again in may.
as long as he stays busy, he has less time to get in trouble.

He still surrounds himself with the wrong people. His entourage is a group of thuggish guys who acted like they were with a prime Mike Tyson at the weigh in.

His manager/promotor is a wannabe who looks like Fat Joe and is more concerned with flossing bling in the ring than properly guiding the career of a talented fighter.

It's just a recipe for disaster.

Agree totally

And B-Hop was in prison for years and came out, resumed boxing, and lost his first fight, and is a legend, so yes, Paris could become a champion if he keeps up the discipline... And to say Hearns has no power is ignorant, your post holds no merit. This guy knocks dudes clean out.

If you knew how this guy came up, you would understand... He could easily get signed by another promoter once his contract is up... And I believe he will, he is hungry for glory in the sport
