    Is the hype justifiable...

    Only 2nd fight but he does look entertaining.

    Questions over both power and was easy to hit tonight.

    Too early to say. At least he's being matched well.

    Didn't realise there was hype behind him. Haven't heard any apart from his dad of course

    I just see an inexperienced teenager who doesn't have his man strength yet. The guy needs serious time, years to learn his craft. Due to his name half the people here will **** on him after every fight, it's a gift and a curse.

    Too early to tell.

    He is wild, easy to hit and probably doesn't carry the power his dad did, but he is young and inexperienced.

    His fight tonight will do him the world of good, though. Not many young prospects fight guys who come to win this early in their career.

    He seemed too impetuous - too eager for the KO. Don't think he's very smart. Shouldn't be trying to imitate his father. That's maybe good for him commercially. Considering his own development though, he should try to forge his own path.

    He wants to be entertaining, always looking to take the guys head off, but he has skills and you get glimpses of them when he doesn't rush in. He's a work in progress, Saturday's fight was a decent test, and he passed it.
