    I wouldn't say he is the next Kostya. That is a pretty big name to compare him to. His best win was against Gary St Clair IMO. But, St Clair was past his best. And, St Clair is not that good at 140. And, his next fight might be consider a small step against Fernando Angulo. But, Angulo is coming off from two losses in a row. And, I think in his last fight he lost to Ameth Santos? Which proves to me that Angulo is also passed his best... But, Leo is young thow and he does have some skills. I just don't think he will be the next Kostya...

        Oh yes he is agree, he is young and he has skills. He still needs to develop. My point was that IMO is too early to say that he will be the Tszyu. Especially when his best win was a against smaller old St. Clair. I understand if he was beating top 20 JWW then that comment might be true... But, IMO right now is too early to make that comparison.

        Don't get me wrong I am not trying to disrespect him or saying that he should step up. But, Tszyu was outstanding amateur, by his 14th pro fight was a major title holder. Basically what I am saying is that is too soon to make that comparison. Lets first see how he looks when he really steps up...

            To be honest I haven't been too impressed with Zappavigna and don't really get the hype surrounding him, he's a strong guy with decent skills but I don't see anything that really stands out.

                I'm not really sold on his 1 punch power, he's a strong guy but he needs to be knocking better guys out before I'm willing to say he has legit 1 punch knockout power.

                    I'll try to catch it. I'd be impressed if he knocks Angulo out.
