Never occurred to you, right? Of course not, because you apparently live in a world where every 13yo "phenom" blossoms into a global sports celebrity.

Douche.

But it is simply a fact that the APPEARENCE of his actual ability does not impress me and I think get seriously overblown. There are many kids (i could even find youtube vids of them) that impress me much much more.

However, what DOES impress me, is this kids mentality.

Someone may have more talent then him, better form, ect.... but this kids mentality is what builds champions. I hope he doesnt get burnt out and he can keep this level of focus and motivation for competition.

As he grows and improves, his mentality should carry him far.
Agree with this. Still though thats a shitload of accomplishments for a lad so young.

The problem I have isn't with this kid in particular- he's got talent and is a good fighter...it's that the human body only has so much boxing capacity n it, and ring age is more important than chronological age. Putting wear and tear on him this young (especially if he fights year round) is going to shorten his career.

He should stick to kickboxing and MMA, there's a hundred Eastern European kids his age that would batter him in boxing. The US system doesn't produce good boxers, you can see technically he makes a lot of obvious mistakes and like any half decent US boxer he wants to keep his hands down for some reason. He doesn't look particularly athletic, will have to see how he looks after he goes through puberty.

Eastern Europe has produced no elite fighters besides the Klitschkos. Even they left as soon as they could.

The US has produced the best fighters of all time and still has more champions than any other country. US and Mexico rule boxing.

Wait till this kid finds out about junk food and the easy life. He'll blow up to 250 lbs by the time he's 18.
