    Excellent. I like his movement and punch placement in there. Looking good for his age.

    I saw him train this week in Vegas, he looked horrible on the mits, like beginner that thinks he's good because he can punch hard type of guy, foot work is bad and he don't bring his hand back to his face after punching.

    Impressive that he's only 17 though, hopefully he gets better, he have good team behind him.

    I didn't realise he was only 17, because I watched him last night and thought he was an AWFUL prospect.

    Now that I know he's,only 17, I feel a little harsh on him

    Idk, if you gonna be a 17 year old prospect you have to be better than everybody and not get a pass just because you're 17, if so, you're not ready and shouldn't be there in the first place.

    He needs a lot ****ing more to his game to be considered a prospect.

    His jab is slow, his movement backwards without protection is bad and although he seems to see punches coming well, he relies a lot on his opponent not being quick enough to land.
