Yanez is an excellent prospect im looking foward to seeing how far he and Warren go in the Pro game.

I know, wtf is up with that? I don't see him winning gold and if he doesn't he won't be a hot prospect.

if he keeps his head right he could really turn into something special, hes got the skill and and has been fighting a long time and his style is very pro pleasant, hope all turns out good for the kid

[Reggie Miller]

Watched him at the Olympic invitational when it came to CT. He is fun to watch likes to entertain and is charismatic. To get any real exposure/money he needs to put on some weight and obviously any knockout power is yet to be seen. If he goes 89-0 vs US comp and loses to the second foreigner he faces does that mean our level of comp is subpar to the rest of the world?
