Exactly Sham... Meehan or Leapai would seriously struggle with JP's speed, but again, these are the guys he needs to knock off and knock off convincingly over his next 10 fights.
He will struggle at this stage with both these guys as they are both awkward, experienced and know how to take a shot. But they are beatable and well below the level he'll have to reach if he wants to fight a "real" top 10 guy.
Right now, KB knows JP is vulnerable to an overhand right or big left hook, which both these guys have got in their arsenal. JP needs to show KB head movement and high hands when he's on the attack, and that last fight with Saglam just showed how far JP has to go before he can fight these guys an achieve those defensive skills.
Yes JP looked good going forward but its the defense that's worries KB.
Meehan and Leapai after another 3 or so fights time I reckon
