Eimantas Stanionis, who's just signed with Schaefer and Radzhab Butaev, who's with DiBella are the first two I want to touch on. Stanionis is yet to make his pro debut but I believe he's a much bigger talent than his countryman Kavaliauskas who's a highly rated prospect (I don't think much of him personally), Butaev is already 4-0. These guys were both standout amateurs and are highly skilled.
Stanionis is an aggressive counter-puncher with a sharp solid jab, good body puncher and a good workrate. He's gonna be a problem.
Here's some footage of him:
Butaev is also an aggressive counter-puncher, he's very methodical and accurate, has good timing and a wide punch variation.
Here's video of him beating another top amateur Roniel Iglesias:
Last but not least, Mohammed Rabii. He won bronze at the Olympics earlier this year and gold at the world championships last year, beating probably the second best amateur fighter in the world atm, Daniyar Yeleussinov in the final. He's signed with Gary Hyde and gonna make his pro debut soon.
Here's video of his win over Yeleussinov:
These guys are all 22/23 and if they live up to their potential, we could be looking at future P4P fighters. They're great additions to an already stacked welterweight division, I believe they will make some real noise next year!
