    This young up and comer is simply amazing with his handspeed and accuracy.
    Seeing hims take a step up fight Eric Estrada is a testament to the commitment of his team to bring him up thru the ranks, the right way.
    The kid seems to have tremendous potential having good foot movement, super fast punching in bunches, and a good chin too. :yep
    I'm hope his team continues to make consistent competitive fights for him.

    He looks interesting. WHat happened at the 2008 olympics? I heard something about him passing out in his room?

    His speed is unreal.

    Would love to see him face Broner at some point in the future, and who knows, if we're lucky we may even get to see Donaire cross paths with this kid as he [Donaire] moves up in weight.

    Wishful thinking, I know.

    Looks great. Good to see a talented flashy young American who isn't just hype.

    This kid will be a world champion, and his skillset already outshines Bradley and perhaps Andre Ward

    Future of American boxing

    I only seen him for the first time on the Khan undercard just there, best prospect I've seen in ages! Was really really impressed.

    Passed out in his village dorm room and missed his weigh in, so was disqualified.

    Probably passed out from trying to make the weight. Maybe improper or undisciplined training, or maybe he really could not make "that" weight class any longer(whatever class it was, it was lower than where he fights now).
