Good for him but... I still don't agree with it.

It's way too early to make that determination. He does have an extensive amateur career with a 147-22 record. (4 Time Jr Golden Gloves National Champion, 2 Time Ringside World Champion, Silver Gloves National Champion, 2017 USA Jr National Champion). Larry Hazzard decided to license him so there must be something to this kid. I have had tickets for a few weeks so this is an added bonus! I enjoy following young fighter's careers. This is the fourth Stevenson fight that I will have attended. Love attending the fights whether the card is great or not. This card has some young undefeated prospects and the tickets were not expensive!Comment

Yea agree across the board, I love tracking guys from amateurs on up even if they don't have what most would consider are successful pro careers. \It's way too early to make that determination.

Also Michael Woods had Vito on his podcast recently & he & his prospect assessment guy was big upping him as someone worth watching & I liked the kids mindset. If that translates into something in the pro game & in the ring is yet to be seen, but he seems worth a boxrec watchlist follow at a minimum for those unable to attend his fights.Comment

In Mexico kids turn pro at 16 all the time. Fifteen year old boxer Kevin Mendoza from the U.S turned professional and has fought in Mexico in 2016. As long as they are not rushed and put in with the right competition I do not see a problem with it. Vito Mielnicki Jr has a lot of experience for a 17 year old and is probably more than ready. Time will tell!Comment
