          Very early to say, the kid is only 20 years old, you can already see the kid has good amateur skills and good fundamentals, but so did Zab Judah for example, it's about evolving into a professional fighter, and not just any pro fighter, but one that unfortunatley doesn't have a lot of power, meaning learning how to pace yourself throughout a 12 round fight and not blow all your stuff in the first 3 rounds, knowing how to deal with rough fighters that don't fight fair, how to deal with aggressive fighters with good chins, how to take breaks and pass the clock in a tough fight, how to steal rounds and how to close the show in the championship rounds.

          All these things are essential for a fighter to become a good pro especially if the fighters isn't a puncher, you can't just be a front runner, so as soon as he steps up and starts fighting 8 10 and 12 round fights we will really see what he has, but as of right now he's doing ok. He definitley doesn't have neither the character nor the looks to be a star just yet, but he might develop these over the years.

              I say it with every prospect coming up. You have to see how they perform when they go through adversity. When they are down on the cards, are hurt by a punch and have to bide time, are knocked down and have to survive the round. Any top prospect can look quality against journeymen and lower quality fighters but until we see them go through adversity we won't know how good they actually are.

                  He should be putting them to sleep like everyone else does with this level of opponent.
                  Well said!!!
