    Unknown Prospects?

    I need some up and comers to watch. I tried Google searching a variety of phrases such as upcoming boxers, and young prospects but keep getting the same results: well known boxers who quite often have titles. Broner? A prospect? Shawn Porter? No. So help me out.
    Got any guys for me? Somebody in their first ten pro fights or so? I'm pretty much completely unimpressed with the calcified nature of the weight classes these days and need something to look forward to in the future aside from the current champs getting old, never fighting each other in their prime, and getting beat by bums or retiring undefeated but never really scraping the surface of the talent pool.

    Felix Verdejo - out of Puerto Rico will be fighting @ 130 in the undercard of Cotto / Martinez , not really an unknown but a solid competitor who's a future champ imo.

              Callum Smith, youngest of the smith brothers from liverpool seems to have a massive future in the smw/lhw divisions.
              Also on a domestic scale (for now) young scouters Robbie Davies jr, Andy colquhoun and johnny quigley are ones to watch.

                  Antoine Douglas is a name you should keep an ear out for. Headlining a ShoBox card end of July.

                    Stop using google and go to an amateur or local pro card.
