Yeah, but the kid had no amateur experience and before today had only boxed less than 30 rounds.Quote:

To be fair, Sjekloca fought to a disputed draw with faded former world champ Stieglitz prior to Yarde taking him out. I think he's at about the right level. Don't know how possible it is but I'd like to see him in with the Buglioni/ Johnson winner.Quote:

By the looks of things, that's probably what happens. Looking at his last 2 opponents , there has been a steady progress with Sjelocka and this guy.Quote:

You've had all the usual "future World Champion" hype from those around him, but as we all know, there are no guarantees and he is a long, long way from that currently.
The old fashioned route of domestic, European/Commonwealth then competing at World level is probably his best option.
