the kid looks great,only 17 years old and giving khan even sparring for 12 rounds is very imperssive,he also looks good in the clip sparring against porter,im going to keep a close on him

he's 17? damn, he was working shawn porter in that clip.

I remember his pro debut he seemed impressive but I must have forgot he's only 17.

Ive seen him spar at the Wild Card. Kid is good, no doubt. But i also seen him spar with another youngin named Saddam "world kid" Ali. He didn't do too good in that fight..

His hands are so fast! And combine that speed with the reach and power he puts on his jab. Possibly devastating. He seems to have the frame to support a great deal of weight too. Could fight effectively in quite a few weight classes when he gets older.

By far my favorite prospect since I saw his Debut. His hype has only grown on me since that then. I have high hopes for him.

I'd spark him out.
