Ryan Songalia: Let me throw an unconventional one out there: Dwyke Flemmings Jnr. He isn’t going to get a lot of attention out there because he’s not signed with a major promotion, plus he’s from Paterson, New Jersey, and I think there’s some sort of federal law banning paying attention to NJ boxers before they become world champions. Flemmings Jnr is 11-0 (10 KOs), 21 years old, and has a laser jab that can take him around the world. This junior middleweight prospect is coming off a first round KO of Demian Fernandez on June 21 at Prudential Center, and before that, he went the six-round distance for the first time, shutting out Florent Dervis on the Tank Davis-Lamont Roach Jnr undercard in March.
