    Ask Johnny Nelson, according to him he's the next Roy Jones. In all seriousness, we'll have to see him against someone who isn't a complete stiff soon to be able to judge.

    I think he's talented, good athlete. Changes levels well, Fights a little to much off left hand. Needs to work on stepping off at a angle rather then straight out but he's talented and every time he landed i saw the guys body sag.

    He needs to get out of this level of opposition purely because it's going to lead to bad habits. He goes a little left hand crazy and it's good but he needs fighters to keep him sweet and let him have a bit back. It's all well and good disposing of fighters in quick time but i don't see that style being Kal's over the duration what he may need is a decent Super Bantamweight.

    He's definetly ready for a step up, very talented IMO, hard to say how far he can go until he faces better opposition.

    Definitely a very talented kid who looks like he's a lightweight operating at bantam, my only concern would be over confidence, don't get me wrong having that "I can beat anyone" attitude is needed to a degree in this game, but I feel he maybe needs to reign it in a little because over confidence has undone plenty of others in this game over the years. He'll put bums on seats all day long with his style that's for sure.

    I think he should fight Stuart Hall next instead of Jason Booth, Hall is fresher an we'll be able to gauge were Yafai is in terms of how far he can go

    Can go to the top and despite being brought along quickly he needs to step up again to get competitive fights. Being out so often helps so credit to EH
