Hey Nico, please say hello to your dad, Steven Spielberg for me. That is one odd looking family.
haha… why doesn’t his papa just put him in some of his movies so he doesn’t have to pretend to be a boxer
Nico Ali Walsh is the best name in Boxing!
They’re not going to be able to hide him for toooo long!
Respect to him for climbing through those ropes, when he obviously doesn’t have to.
But boxing is not a game or a fad, it’s not something you just pick up and put down.
I do see the little improvements he’s making, but if he ever fights a “real” fighter, it won’t be pretty!
¿What will they think of next? Smh
I kinda feel bad for the kid. I might get all thumbs down on this but i’m sorry, Nico is not a good fighter. if it wasnt for his name, he would be lined up to get small time fights at the local bingo halls and bars. He needs to develop more before throwing him on these big cards and wasting the airtime. There are other fighters more deserving of that spot and payday.
Agreed. More ESPN spin and Hype.
i agree to much publicity right now just average fighter will he get better is anybodys guess
I agree, he needs a lot of work. I think it was the fight he had before his last one, maybe two ago now, I swear every single right hand that guy threw landed. ALL OF THEM.
I watch this guy fight 3 times, to me he is a waste of time, living off the Ali name.
– Not a bad ESPN card.
– All free boxing is good boxing….
The kid is fairly realistic about his skills and why he is on tv so he rather likeable to me. And yes he’s not very skilled but if he put in with similar skill level opponents it makes for decent matches instead of some up and comer blowing out some poor ham and egger.
From now on, I’m going to refer to Nico Walsh as “Cautious Clay”.
This Walsh character needs home cooking for as long as possible otherwise it’s a very short ugly career.
Just another jake paul clown taking advantage of grampas name! Can’t wait to see him fight a C- type fighter!
