    Alvarez is real good.

    In spite of his loss to Kovalev, Agnew will be around a while.

    Shumenov must've had visions of Apollo vs Drago when he signed the NonDisclosure Agreement vs Roidnard. For the first time in his career he was defense first.
    Oosthuizen is gonna have to move to LHW if he's gonna compete on the B level with any consistency. He's like 6'4 and thick. Don't know how he trims down for weigh in...he must weigh 200lbs come fight time.
    Gilberto Sanchez is a 6'3 SP also campaigning at SMW....he's only 23 and has 28 wins and has stopped Lorenzo and Mouton. He'll be a fixture at LHW and maybe CW in the yrs to come.
    Thomas Williams is gonna be hit and miss depending on how he's matched. He blew out Ornelas and White which are good signs....but he was back and forth with Mack for 8rds before Mack finally gassed....lot of close rds there too. He's stepping up well thus far....and I think he might be the best prospect we've seen lately in USA....but I think atm, he'd lose to Agnew and Shumenov.
    Caperello is booty.....he'll get a title shot, ktfo...and be gone.
    Ryne Leibenberg.....hard to say really.....hasnt fought the best journeymen, the ones he has fought there hard to gauge....much like Sanchez until recently. Hopefuly he can get a good fight and we can see if he's worth his high ranking. How old is he anyway.....anyone know????:huh

    yeah, looks great so far......hope to see him in bigger fights soon, following the Lomachenko, Glaskov, Helenius, Shumenov model.

    Anthony Simms Jr. looks great, you can hear the different sound to his punches. He could legit be a major US star & player in the LHW division in another year. Who is this kid signed with?
