This prospect will be the goods!

[SENTRAL]

One of the things I most enjoy about boxing is picking young fighters who I see something in and believe will go onto great things in the future.? Well, seeing as David Lemieux did rather well before his unfortunate defeat to Rubio, I've been doing some scouting around and I came up with a couple of young fighters who I aim to follow on their imminent rise to the top of the sport.

I'll start of with Fidel Maldonado Jr.? Obviously being under the Golden Boy banner he is probably known by most of you already but if you haven't heard of him or seen him box, keep an eye out for him as he definitely looks like a fighter blessed with excellent ability.? His amateur record was very good reading an extremely impressive 118-12 According to Wiki.? I've also learned that he scored a remarkable 45 knockouts as an amateur which is quite some feat baring in mind he is only just 20 years old now.? As a pro he has racked up 11 straight wins, 10 by knockout but admittedly his opposition hasn't been up to much just yet.? Maldonado is scheduled to meet Eric Cruz in 4 days time and although Cruz has lost 7 times he has scored 12 victories and won each of those 12 by knock out.? It should be a good test for Felix.

I'll reveal my next choice of future star next week but in the meantime perhaps everybody could contribute with somebody and we can all track their progress as they either fulfill our bold claims about them or fall off dramatically without accomplishing? anything of significance.
