    ohara davies- future superstar?

    the kids got it all. My friends stateside on this forum may not have seen much of him as hes still at domestic level but keep on eye out for this guy.

    He oozes charisma, is a showman and has the skills to back it up. Talk that as a novice he gave porter all he could handle in sparring, and ricky burns says the kid is the real deal. His trainer Tony Sims says hes never seen power like it in 20 years.

    Fighting at 140 hes close to the glamour division of 147, and big fights could be around the corner. On saturday night he faces his toughest test on paper, josh taylor, and surprisingly davies goes in as underdog.

    If (as i think he will) he gets taylor out the way, how far can this kid go? Could he be the next great UK champion? Once the kid gets the exposure hes gonna be a huge fan favourite as despite the trash talk he seems like a likeable guy.

      I'm a fan since only recently paying him much mind & looking up his past fights & watching them post-his recent Floyd semi-viral video among boxing people.

      He clearly knows how the game works outside the ring & thus far passed all his tests inside the ring. This weekend will really tell the story as this is his first fight of real substance. I think he has top ten potential right now, but the Taylor fight & what comes within his next 2 or 3 fights afterwards will likely prove how deep into the top ten he can go or if he could even get the #1 spot one day.

        i think ohara davies is the better prospect of the two but that could be a huge fight down the line if tank starts moving up/

          Oozes charisma?

          He can barely put sentences together. Think he said he had a bad stutter as a kid. Can tell.

          I like him though.

              I think he loses this Saturday but i do like him. Still has a long way to go in developing his skillset and ring IQ, but he is very talented and his build reminds me of a short Tommy Hearns with that wiry strength and orangutan arms.

              Outside of the ring i love how easily he winds people up. He has that face and smile that just makes you want to punch him, which is great tbh

                    Charisma?



                    This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen from a boxer.
