My 2nd top prospect pick gets to shine

Bumped the thread so people could have a look at your fighter (also cause I liked the thread

).

The first guy I mentioned (Lucien Bute) fought last weekend and had another KO win, bringing him to 13-0, all wins by knockout.

He is a big guy and unfortunately he turned pro two years ago and is already 33 years old. That is his downfall but this guy packs a punch and is relatively fast. Okine vs Briggs is such a damn good matchup and a damn good step up as well I do believe. He was already in there with a seasoned vet in Tony Tubbs and knocked him out in the 8th round. While that doesnt really say much it cant be ignored for the fact that was when he had less 10 fights under his belt at the time of that fight and another prospect named Brian Minto was defeated by him.

Needless to say this guy isnt a push over and is something to look at as a future star possible star in the division. Okine reminds me of Ike Ibeabuchi in the way he fights and on top of that he punches like him as well.

Who I believe is truly the next great heavyweight champion in the up and coming ranks, will be showcasing his skills on ESPN Friday Night Fights this Friday.

Big Ab will be taking on Shannon Briggs, just watch this guy is the future.

Great test for a guy who is 14-0

Jinx I will watch that, just out of curiosity whats your opinion of Andre Ward? This kid seems great to me...

Record that fight it will be good.

My thoughts on Andre?

Super Superb STELLAR!

The kid has tremendous talent and is overcoming diversity early, I think he has more than enough potential to be a great fighter and an even better champion. My only complaint is he leaves his arms out a little to far and leaves his chin open. When your boxing idol is Roy Jones jr and you try to mimick his style a bit. Well that worries me considering Andre has been caught and stunned. But I believe he is more than a prospect and wont bust, this kid has a strong future.

Not only that but he has likeable personality, he seems very mature and focused on boxing. I hope HBO plays his fight June 18th. I agree with you he should keep his hands up more.

THATS WHERE WARD HAS A PROBLEM HE HAS GREAT PHYSICAL TOOLS BUT DOESNT HAVE RJJ PHYSICAL TOOLS, U KNOW WHAT I MEAN. HES A LITTLE CARELESS IN THE RING AND THAT LED HIM TO BE ROCKED BAD. BUT IMO WARD WILL BE A GOOD FIGHTER AND A CHAMP ONE DAY BUT HE WILL NEVER BE KNOWN AS THE BEST P4P LIKE RJJ.

I agree, maybe he will get better as he goes further.

Nobody should ever mimick Roy Jones, he leaves himself open and throws wildly.
