    YET another reason to watch the ever-growing talent pool at 118/122. Saw him over the weekend, and was very impressed with how proficient he is in terms of bodywork. Guys with his type of speed and reach usually head-hunt, but he mixes it up pretty well. Can't wait til he gets his first 12 rounder, he'll be at world level in two years I bet.

      Didn't he get disqualified in the trials for coming in overweight rather than losing to Shelby? But yeah he looks like a real good prospect.

          They were meant to fight 3 times to decide who goes through, Kal withdrew before the second fight.

          I do remember something be said about struggling to make weight though.

            I think it was because of the GB management team who didn't watch out for what he ate and did up until the weigh in.

              It's down to that fighter.

              Gavin missed out on '08 Olympics and a gold medal down to weight issues.

                union jack tinted glasses on you, my friend.


                now, that said, i like this kid. very good looking fighter for less than 10 fights, all at british level.
                you know who this kid reminds me of?
                kessler with latteral movement. not good with the distance like kessler to avoid shots, but good to get max leverage.


                his head/ chin is hanging out there a bit when he's throwing the right hand. we'll see if some good sparring partners will teach him not to do that..

                  Mostly yeah.

                  But when you have a guy enjoying a bath and munching down on whatever the fuck he wants, the management has to take some blame.
