So if age is a factor, then he wouldn't be fighting guys in their 20's and 30's, simple as that. He would only be fighting teenagers. There is no reason he can't do like thousands of other fighters who are 10-0, 12-0,15-0 fighting each other on ShoBox. Prospect vs Prospect and the winner moves up the ranks. WHEN he fights an equal, then we will see what he is made of.

His competition as a teenager is much better then a lot of prospects in their 20's . You don't match up a literal kid in a 50-50 fight , that's ****** . When he's closer to his prime (21-23) he can start being in 50-50ish fights. He's working his way there real quick already ranked 150 by boxrec for a 19 year old thats pretty impressive. Hopefully they keep taking small step up fights like they have been and very soon he'll be highly ranked thank god your not a match maker . You'd ruin kids careers before they even sniff their primes

Thats called overprotected. Go look at the thousands of fighters who fought on Shobox of all ages. COUNTLESS fighters put in 50-50 / 60/40 type fights fights. The age IS NOT a factor or he would not be fighting men in their 20's and 30's, he would be fighting teenagers, simple as that. Thank god you are not a matchmaker because there would be NO Shobox series for the last 20 years pitting prospects against prospects. COUNTLESS and I mean COUNTLESS of prospects took risks to get the exposure on Shobox and many became contenders and champions. If Exander can't do the same - he is overprotected, simple as that.

There is no one his age at his level no teenager ever gets put in a 50-50 fight . When he's 21 he'll be fighting better competition then those kids your talking about but okay I honestly don't care either way

Yes there are, fighters have even won titles at 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 years of age, and that is title fights, not to mention non-title fights against prospects and contenders around the world. There is no reason he cannot fight another prospect on a fight card like Shobox, no reason at all. Again, his age has NOTHING to do with it or he would not be fighting 22, 25, 31 year old fighters!! I cannot make it any more simple for you!

Pull him out of the kiddie pool and take his training wheels off and lets see how he does against another prospect who will test him like in a ShoBox card.

Much like Mexican fighter's thar go 52-1-2 before they step up in comp?
