Been following him since his debute thanks to Kolya.... I like his style a lot and hope he can make it to the upper levels, but he needs sooooo much tightening, looking good against guys your supposed to look good against is one thing, but at least hes on the right path.
2008 U.S. Amature Heavyweight Champion. 10 and 0... with 10KOs... (little surprised box-rec only has him ranked at #69 at C.W.) Too bad he's a little under-sized for the Klit bros.
The guy looks ok. The Klitschko's? Don't even try. He might be ready one day. But probable the brothers will be retired by then. Against Derrick Brown came in at 204lbs and some fat is already showing. So he will need to get a lot of weight training before being ready for any of the brothers. He also keeps his hands too low. He can do that against those bums with no jab and no reach. But the Klitschkos will make a party in his face if he tries that against them. Not even close to being ready. May be some day.
Guy is a mean puncher. Great torque on them. Everything comes from the legs. He gets nice and low into the trenches and just drills you with accurate shots. Head movement makes it difficult to track him. IMO this is the only way a shorter opponent can get through Wlad's jabs (and basically, everyone is shorter than Wlad). He'll need a hell of a chin though. In any event as the posters above have stated, by the time he matures and fills in his body, Klits will be long gone. Also, his style is very agressive and risky, which may endanger his prospects against an accurate or powerful opponent.
From what I see he looks pretty good. Solid combinations, good movement, athletic. As long as they guide him the right way he'll be champion one day. Lets hope his chin is good.
I think those credentials will get him about as far as it did Jason Estrada, if he's lucky. If he reaches his full potential then maybe he'll be a Estrada, Mollo gatekeeper type imo.
He gotta better chance at hitting the lottery then beating either klitscho. I don't care if the Klitschos fight into thier mid 40s like BHop and take some losses prior to fighting him they would KO him.
I have a feeling this is Jeremiah Graziano. I have seen about four of his fights now. He fights here in my home town (KC). I seen him knock the **** out of the Ejoifer guy in St Louis and I can honestly say I have not seen a harder knockout in person before. Vs Klitschko, sorry, but not even in the same ball park. With his height and reach he cannot compete at HW at present.
