"A Boxing Prodigy" - New York Times - Sugar Boy Jr. Younan

Looks like he needs some work to me. The natural talents is all there though.

[WARQUEZ]

He has the natural gifts, but is he boxing's next star or another Jorge Linares? We'll see. I'm intrigued to find out.

[Forza]

uh it's not hard to emulate people when hitting the mits or bag. Let's see him actually box?

[SCtrojansbaby]

If he from NYC? NYC could use a good boxing prospect right now.

[cupocity303]

I can already tell that he is a bit flabby. If he took that shirt off, he would look like Juan Diaz, when he out of shape.

He has Americanized his style by the looks of it, but we'll see how he looks in the ring.

Btw, is that Pauli Malignaggie's trainer that was holding the mitts?

[Mana$$aMauler]

The guy holding the mitts is the father, Sherif Younan, that's his son Sherif Younan, Jr.

The elder is Paulie's trainer.

Just like the Mayweathers.

* Sherif Younan Jr sugar boy, is a great young talent. I understand why he's going pro the amatuer game has change a lot for the worst . To get to the Olympics you have to do the same tournaments twice. Then 3 or 4 guys have to hit a button at the same time. They don't even count body shot anymore. It's more like fencing than boxing. A lot of young talented boxers are out there that's gone pro Zachary Ochoa (19) and Eddie Gomez (19) who are going to be great pros one day and I understand why. So sugar boy will be ok with his father guiding him. He puts in hard work sparring so of the best and holds his own well sugar will be fine. go teamsugarboy!
