Junior Fa has a way to go before he'll be a threat to the top 10; if ever. His last outing was against a guy called Daniel Tai for the NZ title. Tai was 22-9 at the time and is under 6". Junior looked pretty one dimensional in that fight and only won by MD. He's too tentative at the moment and afraid to really let rip with some good combinations. Needs to get more of an arsenal than simply jabbing and the occasional straight right and the odd body shot. Junior looks great when he's a little more aggressive. He's fighting again this month. Hopefully he ends the year out with a Fred Kassi level opponent to gauge where he's at.
Jnr Fa is fighting Jnr Pati out of DTs gym this month, I'm not sure how Pati has advanced in the last year or so but he is short and strong if he catches you but Fa will just need to keep him at range and pop him with long shots and possibly tie up. Pati has short strong legs but is not a good mover so Fa should have no trouble avoiding avoiding him centre ring. A possible mismatch.
Don't see the point in fighting Junior Pati again, unless he demolishes him and shows us how hes improved. Maybe I jumped the gun when I thought hed be ready for a Fred Kassi or Kevin Johnson this yr.
Maybe it isn't Pati again.....I got that off a Pati fb page but have msged Fa and asked him who he's up against

Just had contact from Jnr Fa and he says he's not fighting Pati again. Sorry about that misinfo
So I wonder if Duco teams up with Matchroom to stage the Parker vs Fury fight in the 02?
Anybody know about the Parker/Cojanu weigh-in? Are they having one?

More likely is we are paying our respects to Wlad retiring from boxing , and discussing AJ vs JP unification
Hughie can face Dimitrenko on the undercard
