    I didn't really pay much attention to him previously, but I am starting to take note now. His boxing is very crisp. I thought Gonzalez would give him a rough fight, but he annihilated him.

    I think he stands up too straight at times and may have a vulnerable chin as seen against Karpency, but in spots he looks brilliant.

    I would give him a chance to upset some of the name guys at 175.

    I was impressed with that performance. Good jab, movement and accuracy. He showed composure by staying inside gonzalez's wide shots and countering when his head came back to the middle.

      Yeah, he looks good. Something tells me his chin might be suspect though.

        He impresses me more than GGG. His chin will be his downfall for sure but as long as it holds up he's a problem at 175lbs.

          He reminds me of Wlad, manages distance and breaks down opponents with a 1-2. A bit too stiff on defense as well, he's a very good fighter but I don't think he's on a guy like Kovalev's level and may fall short to some of the top dogs.

          His last 2 opponents were previously beaten/stopped, although he did dispatch of them impressively.
