One of the guys Yoka got a gift against in Rio, Hrgovic, is also turning pro soon. I'm more excited about him, he's gonna be a real problem.
I don't think too highly of Yoka, but he's young and definitely has room for improvement

Yoka arguably lost against Filip and Joyce in Rio, he also was lucky that Nistor was robbed before he faced him and his run at the world championships wasn't less controversial.
But he is good, i think his athleticism can be developed by good trainer into a good fighter, but he seems to me to be 50/50, a flop or a really good fighter, time would tell.

He's really talented, im waiting to see how his style is going to translate to the pros. I thought hrgovic beat him too, and im interested to see how hrgovic is going to do in the pros. I think he has a very professional style so he s going to do well. However it would be good for him to work more on his headmovement.
