    I saw Guido Vinello on the undercard of Fury vs Schwartz. The Italian moves well, can box and has some power. You felt sorry for his limited but durable opponent. While defense is not Vinello's thing, he has time to improve. He's a skilled super heavy with fast hands. How well he takes a punch and learns defense will define how far he can go, but he has the potential to go far and is more skilled already than some heavyweights in the top ten,

    Put it to you this way, I'd pick him to stop Schwartz too, even fi he's only 4-0

    His defense is good enough for him to become a champion. His power will give him edge in future fights as well.

    I think his ability to take a punch is equally important and its here where I question him. Vinello is an offensive minded fighter. As such he will need defense and the ability to take it. He reminds me a bit of Corrie Sanders, except his doesn't have top end hand speed or power as Sanders had. It's a notch or two below that, but clearly good enough to take him far.

    Just a hunch, he'll be upset before getting a title shot. He's also the type that upset a greater opponent. A fun guy to watch.

    Kiydin/Hemi Ahio on 12th July. I favour Kiydin due to his power and skills.

    Another fight between two unbeaten prospects- this July is crazy for HW. Haven’t seen Kiyidin, I’ll give him a look. Ahio looks alright but nothing special from what I’ve seen.

    Hemi is too small for HW imo. Still, good to see him back out again. Can't say I know too much much about Kiydin.
