    Thoughts on Sammy Vasquez Jr?

    Not much hype around this guy but I like what I've seen from him. He's got good feat, fast hands, does good body work and has a solid amateur background.

    He recently signed with Haymon so expect him to make a breakthrough real soon, I'm thinking feed him a couple of Josesito Lopez type guys before the end of the year then start matching him up with lower top 10 guys in 2016.

    He's one to keep an eye on for sure.

    See sig wale was a good opponent for him. I'm guessing he'll get a title shot sometime next year once the dust settles

        Yeah man, he looks real good. You seen his fight with Stevenson, the guy who fought Roberto Garcia a few months ago? That was an all out war.

        Can't fight any footage of his amateur fights but he has a couple of losses to Spence and Imam in the 2012 Olympic trials.

            Imam is a bit stiff but has real potential as well. Perhaps the most underrated prospect at this point

              Agreed, his right hand is special, reminiscent of Hearns. Style wise he's got a bit of Hearns and Toney in him, love how he rolls punches.
