Kid has a lot of tools, his natural talent can't be replicated and he seems like a smart kid who processes information well. But at the moment he looks like a line drive hitter trying to hit it out of the park.
He needs to be a defence first fighter to have success at top level imo. He also throws everything hard, a bit like Canelo without the pop. IMO he needs to vary the speed of his punches and look to "score" and occassionally look for something hard. He has the jab, and as I mentioned the natural quickness and athleticism that can't be taught, there is a baseline for an elite fighter but I believe he thinks he is something he's not and unless he starts making changes now he will pick up an L soon.
