    I've seen people comparing him to Roy Jones Jr, where do you stand? is he about to stomp on Crawford and Spence at 147 lbs?

    Not even remotely impressed. Might be able to beat an Ugas type fighter, but I'm not even sure there, that's his ceiling.

    I like what I see. Fun style to watch, a good array of shots in his locker. Of course against limited opposition it's all good and well looking flashy, but what happens when he steps up and people don't crumble under his shots.

    Definitely one to keep an eye on for a while.

    Dudes too flashy and he leaves his chin up, he’ll lose like Broner did eventually.

    HIs shoulder roll defense is horrible as he kept getting hit by Eyubov cleanly and his timing on the rolls was way off. If his defense doesnt improve his chin Is going to get cracked sooner or later. Sure most young fighters have issues defensively but he has 25 fights and should be looking a lot sharper. Thats another red flag for me that he has 25 fights but is still not facing higher level competition? I admit I dont know much other than what I saw against Eyubov and a couple fights on YT but as far as my eye test he looks like nice talent blessed with some speed and power but I dont see much else. Yet.

    I like him. Give him some more time to iron things out, keep him away from good volume punchers in the meantime, and he'll be fine

    He has potential to dominate at Junior Welterweight closer to where he started, at Welterweight he is a good boxer.
