    I caught the undercard bouts for Bivol - Smith and One of the guys the featured was Otha Jones, a 19 year old from Toledo.

    The guy Jones was fighting gave him a good scrap and Jones looked good. Good prospect.

    Madrimov on the other hand. Holy ****, that guy has had two fights and looks like he is 3 fights from a title shot.

    I haven't seen a young guy that impressive since, well, Teofimo Lopez, whom I have said a few times is the first guy I've seen that reminds me of Duran.

    Madrimov is short with T-Rex arms, but some guys have a level of boxing instincts where it doesn't matter.

    A couple of months ago I said the two young, non-title holders I liked most were Lopez and Joshua Buatsi. I have to throw Madrimov in there, and oh WTH, lets throw another young 154'er in there as well, with "The Towering Inferno" Sebastian Fundora.
