Compare his Am record to lets say Pimbletts? where Paddy and his team sought out the best Am's in the country like Missin, Creasey etc
For me he should have had 2-3 more Am's against established guys (like Berry etc)
As for ACB, yes it was a debut guy, but so what if he boxed pro? this is MMA not boxing. For the record it was a very close fight and if they announced Greenslade as the winner i wouldnt have been suprised. Round 2 was very close.
But all the best to him and his team, im sure they know what they are doing with him.
Missin who is currently 2-0, has defeated some tough opposition since he turned pro in October.Missin will be looking to move to 3-0 and keep up what has earned him the title of a hot prospect.
What was the name of the pro boxer? Who did he box for?
Yeah gotta agree with Widge, I watched the fight on YouTube after seeing his coach raving about it on FB and whilst it was excitng to watch it was pretty obvious the boxer guy had zero ground game and the fact that Coner wasnt able to take him down and sub him doesnt bode well for turning Pro
He should spend more time perfecting his all round game, after all he is only a teenager so whats the rush!
