    Just checked him out. He looks not bad at all, although he was fighting a complete tomato can. He is quick-footed and throws good jabs and combos.

    His opponent in the ESPN fight doesn't even qualify as a tomato can.

    Very fast hands, snappy punches, and only 18 years old?! At 200lbs he's a bit skinny, but at least he's in shape, plus almost everyone puts on 15-30lbs of natural weight between the ages 18 and 24. At 6'4 he certainly has the frame to support that. Good news! Any young HW prospects are a sigh of relieve these days... hopefully he'll develop better than Tyson Fury.

    Are you sure he's an American heavyweight? He doesn't look fat enough....

    :?

    I'm sure if he makes as much progress over the first year and a half of his career as Fury has over his, his team will be absolutely delighted.

    He definitely has quick hands and according to the linked article he was a junior olympic champion, so he's got something. Obviously you'd need to see him in with someone who at least came to fight to make any sort of real judgment. The dude struggled to stand up after the KD and not because he was buzzed.

    Fury has done excellent in his first year as a pro,

    And yeah this guy looks promising, he looks fast and strong, if he has a chin then this guy could go far

    Nah if he was German, he wouldn't have stopped him, he would have just got a gift decision.
