    I think he will. 6'4" with power in both hands. Good punch variety.

    Thoughts?

    He's got the raw power but is too slow to beat the best

    Wasn't he almost KTFO in his second fight? Could be another sad case of mandiblitis fragilitis.

    Let's hope that he's at the very least a glass cannon with world level pedigree - those are great for the division! When Izu Ugonoh fighting again?

    Actually not. He was hit to the back. His chin wasn't checked still. But he has glass back

    I dont see anything elite or special about him. I think he is clearly above British level but will end up between European and world level.

    I dont see him improving from what he is now. He will only get older, more muscular and slower. Will peak in his mid 20s is my bet. He is only 20 now and they need to wait for him to get to 21 to fight for the British title.

    He will make waves on the canvas after he is knocked down..............when he lands on the canvas he will make waves throughout the canvas, no doubt!

    Looks like a freaking beast to me.

    If he's got a chin, he will be something.

    In fact, he might be something even without one.

    Not having one doesn't appear to be hurting a few other notables. Not yet, anyway.

    Liked his use of the jab today/yesterday (depending on where you are).

    Keep that up & I see him going all the way.

    By all accounts he’s been well and truly chin checked in the gym by a couple of notable big hitters and just walked through the shots like they were nothing.

    He’s literally just turned 20 years old a month or so ago so he hasn’t even matured physically yet, in the next 2 years he’ll find his full strength and his coordination will improve greatly.

    The noises out of his gym are that he’s quite vicious and loves the feel of being at war right in front of an opponent, taking shots and delivering them.

    He actually has greater athleticism than his fight clips show and moves much better than we’re seeing in his 1 & 2 round blowouts where he’s just hunting the KO and throwing bombs. He needs better opponents that demand superior performances from him, fights that make him think about finding a way rather than the barely controlled youthful tear up attitude he’s showing.

    He is a big monster, has a chin and hits harder than AJ. He'll be world level IMO.
