"Carlos Utria proved that he was no garden variety Colombian puncher with a padded record" I'm pretty sure he proved it in EVERY OTHER FIGHT leading up to this one Jake. Carlos beat the TOUGHEST schedule of opponents in the tournament and he did so in dominant fashion. i would say he's the best Bet of ANYONE in the tournament to become a world champion. This was his toughest fight so far, and he passed with flying colors.

That was exactly my point - he proved it in this tournament. I even said on X, every promoter in the sport should be racing to sign him.

Yep. You know your boxing. i watched his first two fights in the tournament and could see him getting into the Title contending mix at 140 IMMEDIATELY. Would love to see him take on someone like Gary Antuanne

No please you are way off with this take. He has potential since he is very young and if he is build up the right way he could really become a Chamion but i'm talking about 4-5 years of constant improvement needed.

He is nowhere near the top level of 140, one of the best divisions. He beat a very good amateur yesterday but nothing more he can't hang with anyone at top 15 and to say he can beat a top 10 or top 5 is ridiculous.

I hope you know the level of competition in this tournament is miles away from world level. Sandor Martin or Puello would school this kid so bad and the guys thatpack a punch and can box like Teofimo, Gary or Hirioka would finish him in 5-6 rounds.
