    The only time ive seen him was when he beat my countryman in the finals. I know his brothers have been good. The pros are different from the amateurs; so for those who have followed him domestically, what do you expect from him now hes a pro?

    I don’t say this about a lot of guys before they turn over but he has what it takes to go the whole way. His style is suited for the pro’s and he’s already beaten some of the best in the world in the amateurs. They’ll bring him through really quickly.

    Looks like they're planning to do the "Lomachenko route" with him..... so he'll be thrown in the deep end early doors.

    His style has some similarities to Lomachenko. Obviously not quite on the level Loma was coming into the pros but he’s relentless and brilliant with the angles. If he can do that over a longer distance in the 12-rounders then he’ll be a contender soon.

    I think he might be the most talented of the brothers. They have had very good careers. I am expecting him to win a legit world title

    Sunny Edwards giving him his dues on Twitter saying their spars have been very competitive.

    I think he will do very well across a few divisons.

    Im sure they actually boxed each other many years ago in the amateurs but could be wrong
