This guy is fighting on the undercard of the WARD/FROCH ticket in Atlantic City on the 17th.
Upon digging him up on boxrec, his credentials did not seem all that impressive:
Yorkshire this, Liverpool that, British games blah aren’t usually enough to get my heart beating quickly.

Yet, at 25-0 with 17 KO’s, I thought it only fair to dig a little deeper on him.
Glad I did. He seems to have a “Naseem Hamed” flare about him in regards to his arsenal while exhibiting a
broader sense of ring generalship. Granted, I only saw a few clips from Brook but the few rounds
which Hamed would simply hand to his opponent out of sheer boredom were absent.
This may have been the only difference between the two.

So, as we approach the Super-Six showdown this weekend and debate whether or not we plan to watch the fight,
let’s keep this fighter in mind. Chances are that his fight vs LUIS GLARZA (17-2 {13}) will air one fight prior
to the main event – and NOW we’ll know who we are watching:
