    Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Reviews UK's Top Prospects, New Talent

    Happy New Year to one and all. Let's hope it's another bonanza for the fight game. As it's time to speculate, here's ten to watch in 2014 in alphabetical order:

    Tom Baker

    One of 13 children born into a Romany gypsy family, the 22 year old redhead from Chingford is unbeaten in six at super-middle.

    Schooled by the venerable Mark and Jimmy Tibbs in Canning Town, quiet lad Tom already possesses one of the most polished jabs in the industry, plus fabulous skill and variety.

    Twice a senior ABA finalist in his teens, Baker scalped the feted Callum Smith in the amateur code. Once he acquires full man strength, he's sure to evolve into a major force. [Click Here To Read More]

          They don't hold much weight because of his bias.

            very true, but they are entertaining reads,, and when he isnt talking about fighters he is/was involved with, he has some good observations, especially about the US fighters...
            But yes he can be very biased towards fighters he has dealt with

              Warren is a good writer, just can be over biased sometimes.

                    @Mick Higgs...brother of the half-decent Ronnie Heffron, a big mob of fighting lads with an Irish heritage from the Greater Manchester area.

                    Mark is supposed to be the pick of them. Think of the Fury clan and then drop six or seven weight divisions. Worth watching......he's a real youngster and been fighting overseas to learn the business a bit like Hughie Fury.
