Nice volleys but he almost is too use to them just being there. He has spots where he'll stop and hesitate if is feinted or a guy punches in between them and thinks outloud. Better guys will see that and take note. He does alot of frenetic almost nervous energy...moving just for the sake of moving and showboating. That raising the hands and clowning could get him in serious trouble against a top calibur guy and I don't think he's been clocked clean on the chin yet. Walk then run.
Ask Calzaghe he sparred hundreds of rounds, with Nathan he rates him as a kid and a pro, simply
he's that good.
