    How good can he be. Just watched a good short film on him with Steve Lillis, comes across very well, and from what I've seen from his fights carries good power and decent speed.

    What level can he get to?

    I heard he's a brutal puncher but I haven't seen him - any link to the clip you mentioned?

    Could do some damage but looks overly muscled with a tiny head.

    Other than that he's getting the brutal knockouts needed but he looks levels above his current opposition and he does need to step it up.

    He looks the stuff of course his only fought journeyman so far but he passes the eye test. What's more remarkable is his only had a handful of amateur fights but looks very well drilled. He's fast, strong and carries devastating power.

    But he seems tiny for the weight I think his only 5'9 and is carrying a load of muscle maybe he should try and get down to supper middle but nevertheless he has alot of ability and I think he could win a belt in the future.

    He will be a top ten p4p entry within six years.

    You heard it here first.

    I don't think that's accurate for some reason, he looks short at the weight although maybe all that muscle gives the illusion that his short. 6ft is the average height at that weight to be fair.

    Very exciting prospect - looking forward to seeing him in more testing fights. Had a 1 round blowout on the Canelo undercard last night. Some KO though!
