    he is only 23 years old, approx. 6 feet five, but very balanced, very fast, solid, great amateur career from Ukraine.............really great technique...............I was surprised..............he could beat Wilder right now, but in a few years he will be unbeatable! Great body puncher.......................however, does he have a good chin? We will find out in a few fights, he will move fast, kind of like Bivol.............

    Very light on his feet, but can sit down and punch hard...............also reminds me of Gvozdyk, but appears to be even better...............There is a video on the thread, "Best Young Prospect.", in a reply, I was surprised, he moves like a much smaller fighter Time will tell, but he moves so well, very relaxed and smooth.................not ready for Joshua yet, but he could beat Wilder now, that is not saying much..............

    Yeah, he looks good. He's the prospect I'm most excited about.

    CST80 has a good bio on him: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...vtsi-heavyweight-ukrainian-jackhammer.561102/

    I just hope he doesn't get Kuzmin/Dinu syndrome and refuse to fight consistently/make consistent progress. For me, he has to step up in his next few fights or I'll lose faith in him.

    Honestly though, all things in consideration, Dubois looks like a much stronger prospect I have to say.

    His Sandez fight was really funny.

    He was trying to be disciplined, careful, get some rounds, etc, but he ****ed up, took a hit, and completely lost his composure.

    I've always been really high on the guy, he needs to get a new promoter though.

    Let's hope that unlike Wilder, he actually stops fighting small fat guys at some point.....

    He looks ok.

    But significantly less power and slower than a leaner Joshua did 12 fights in.

    He’s been progressing way too slowly.

    He weighed 220 for his fight yesterday, but he's been as low as 212 before. I don't think he should come in any lower than 220.
