Not that it won't happen, just you could imagine the pressure on a kid who really has very little chance of ever equalling his pops. Anyways, Jiles Jr. is definetly one to watch though. I thought he could tone down the flashy stuff as well, but he's only 18, theres so much room to improve.. The kid is FAST. I saw some big combinations from him, as many as 7 or 8 punches. Full of potential for sure.
Absolutely agree P4P , how good do you think he can be?, i must say with all the cockyness and the speed, skills and technical stuff he showed he reminded me of Mayweather a bit, i just think the way he's going he's going to be a monster, i haven't seen a more exciting prospect in a while.

Peace
Honestly, the guy really impressed me for an 18 year old. The natural tools seem to all be there, and he is very athletic. It's almost a curse to hope for greatness from a prospect due to the intagibles of the sport, but he impressed me as much as any prospect Ive seen in a while. Just the fact that he's so young and theres so much room to develop his skills. Because his ability is there. I also thought it was a good opponent they put him in with, a much older, tough guy who wasn't going anywhere and tried to rough him up, just the kind of acid tests a young pro needs... Obviously he could face alot better opposition but there's no reason to yet. Im not going to predict anything as far as what I expect, because every fighter is brought up differently anyways.. But, I doubt many elite fighters today looked as good as he does at 18, he's one to watch. Have a cool click, welcome to the forum.
