I do hope he settles down and that he doesn't get the urge to try to live up to defense free expectations though. The exposure is great but these take way to many tolls this early. The commentators repeatedly said he's being compared to a young Branon rios...double edge sword if you ask me.
At 19 hes got a hell out a lot of work to do but no doubt the potential is there. I was reading that he had a lot amatuer fights, I wonder why he didn't want to go for the Olympics? It might have been better for his exposure on the boxing scene for his future, hes clearly got the talent and as proved in that fight hes got the wind to go solid rounds. Not sure about that, he started his pro career in 2010 so he would have been 18 just turned maybe.
