    Well, this is my first time seeing him but I've liked his name (LoL!) every since he popped up on the radar.

    As an international boxing fan, I don't know specifically about the UK's local scene but he'll have to be much better to make it to the world.

    He placed his punches nicely but, for his weight, his hand-speed seemed a bit lacking and he doesn't turn his shoulders into his power-shots so he will probably never have real power without some adjustments.

    I hope to see everyone do well, however, so hopefully he makes some real strides and I get to see him in a big fight in a couple of years.

      I like him, but he reminds of Naseem Hamed a bit with his flashy ring stuff. He doesn't have big power though, and I can't see him beating any top guys at SBW yet. I think he would need to head north to 126 or 130, where who knows how effective he'd be, to win some big fights.

      122 is loaded.
      Like Hamed and Brook he is a product of the Ingle gym.

      Looks a decent prospect, probably just a matter of time till he clashes with Frampton or Quigg.

      But that division is loaded with talent and would do very well to get a belt.

      The jury is still out for me.

        If Jason Booth drops him, then Lord knows what Quigg, Frampton or even Munroe would do. He might outbox Frampton (who doesn't seem too clever to me) but Quigg's a good stalker and would walk him down. Munroe would do the same but it'd take a bit longer.

          seen him go a few rounds with some domestic brit. i think it was his last fight.

          he's slick. got lot of defensive ability. nice vision and he's always on balance and able to make a guy miss. fast too.

          that video is a bit misleading by the look of things, because when i saw him fight he didnt have a lick of power
          showed nice footwork for the entirety of the fight. i cant remember how it ended, but he was touching his opponent up and completely outclassing him


          i dont want to sound like i'm being malicious here, but most of the highly touted young brits are very forgettable. they dont have a ton of talent or a great deal of skill. they arent "world class"

          galahad has both. highly skilled and with some talent. he can make it far if gets with the right people in terms of his management, training, and promotion.

            I don't get your point you can say the exactly same thing about any style in boxing.
