    Do you think he's a legit welterweight ? He's pretty big but skinny, not as big as Spence or Boots

    He looked quite good I thought. Quite stiff to my eyes though and I didn't really see much of an x-factor though that's with very limited information to go off of. With the right promotional push and with his athletic abilities he'll definitely get at least a shot at a title some time in the next five years or so. I'd like to see how he progresses and I liked how he sat down on his punches in his debut but I feel there is still something distinctly "amateurish" about his style and that he lacks the kind of fluidity needed to be a top pro at the moment.

    I thought he beat the Uzbek in his Olympic semi-final. I should qualify that statement by saying that by that stage of the tournament, I was extremely unhappy with some of the scoring so perhaps I wasn't being completely objective.
