    nah world youth champion, already holds a good win over ruddenchko and is still 20. His neck and neck with joshua imo, when he develops physically we will see his real potential, his got serious skills

    not high on rivas as all

    iv no idea tbh, they still have proven very little at the highest level in the am's. Apart from jai who qualified for the olympics at 16 at 90kg

    they both are very talented younsters, two of the most talented in the higher weights so there in with a shout

    I might be wrong but I don't think Nyika is polynesian, he's half Kenyan I think or of some african background

    Also Nyika will dominate Opetaia, not in the same league. Willie Meehan could be better than Kali and Kali is practically just behind Tua in terms of legacy.

    Not a bad fight I guess but shouldn't be to much of a test for Parker.

    Tupou doesn't really bring any threatening features to this one. Doesn't hit as hard as he should for his size and doesn't bring a particularly exceptional chin.

    Might have been an interesting fighter if he had started out a bit earlier. Im fairly certain he had only one amateur fight, feasted on pretty lacklustre aussie domestic comp then had a pretty good go of it in the States.

    Definitely a step up from Fujimoto even if it isn't ranking wise. Joe still has plenty of time to develop, I reckon it will be a good challenge for him. Probably on par with Saglam really just a bit bigger.

    Parker steadily moving up in competition, and more importantly, keeping active, definitely one of my favorite up and coming HW's
