Sherbro predicts the rise of Tom Aspinall, 2015

[Clark Rogers]

That first reply was so spot on, too.. lulz

 

[Young Calf Kick]

A brit telling people to keep an eye out for another brit?

I can't believe it!

Oi oi have some manners and respect guvna

 

[Ares Black]

Sure, but downplaying it only works if it's the SAME people hyping all the prospects up. If a poster doesn’t do it except for one guy and he hits a home run the one time he swings...that's pretty fucking impressive.

Not sure if this poster hyped other guys or not, seems to be a Brit that had specific insight into Aspinall.

^^^^^^^^^^This

Speaking as someone who has made several failed hype train threads myself, I found this one to be very impressive.

I once made a thread about the potential of The Beverly Hills Ninja. It did not age well.

 

[Ares Black]

How did you "stumble" on a 10 year old thread though? Ya damn gravedigger

The TS necro'd his own thread in the Worldwide Discussion forum because it was ten years since he made it.

I just thought it needed more exposure because there isn't much traffic out in Worldwide.

Tom would get submitted by Stuart Austin 3 months later.

Well done guys.

With another 2 losses on top of that too.

And a championship belt.

Relatively easy to spot heavyweight prospects compared to other divisions, they just have to be athletic and not morbidly obese.
People were also hyped about Gane when he only had 3 MMA fight.

If they're throwing 1-2s and kicks you got yourself a contender.

And a championship belt.

And an opponent ducking him so hard that even his biggest knuckledragging nutswingers can't help but just flat out admit that he is a duck now.
"Muh legacy"

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

There was thread asking when Paddy was gonna get signed to UFC from like 2016

 

[HerpDerp]

Good call and an even better nickname.

I was a shitty regional amateur MMA fighter back in the day, and was on a few cards where Tom fought, he was blowing through people with ease, at a very young age.

I started training BJJ with his dad, and got to know them a little in the early days, and saw first hand how many people saw his HL reel and ducked him instantly, across Europe. I also saw how hard he trained, with no fights on the horizon. I believe he was around 16 when I came across him, I'm quite a bit older and I was pleasantly surprised to see how mature he was about his MMA training and career. His dad Andy deserves mad props for keeping him on the path, and training him, keeping him going when it looked pretty hopeless back then when he couldn't get any fights.

I knew it was a matter of time before he was found and put on a big stage, now he's doing to world class MMA fighters the same thing he did to regional amateur /pro MMA fighters, it's insane, and I couldn't be happier for him and his dad, genuinely two of the nicest people I've met in my MMA journey.

I thought I'd mention him on here to get him some recognition back then, as I hadn't seen a single thread about him back then.

 

[Siver!]

Yeah, well, as soon as I started watching MMA that Fedor kid was like 25-1 and I was like, this guy's gonna be something special, and guess what?

This thread isn’t about you though, it’s about @Wololo and his massive Nostradamus brain.

That’s mad man. I love reading about that type of shit.


Are you still training these days?

He's still young, give him time.
