    I like this kid. He needs to improve in some areas, but he seems to be a very good athlete with good poise and a killer instinct. Looks reasonably immpressive stopping veteran Botha, all things considered. He's not one of these plodding heavyweight, and has good hand and foot speed. I'd just like to see him keep his hands up a little more, chin tucked a bit more, and not fall in with his punches. He makes a few mistakes that you would expect from an inexperienced fighter, but they can be corrected and I hope they are.
