He has a lot of talent, and some very good attributes, but just hasn't fought often enough and been taken into deep waters to iron out the mistakes. Against the likes of Campbell and Casa I'd pick him to win a few early rounds, but they will eventually catch up to him and KHO. But as Mick said, a loss shouldn't be the end of the world and would probably be a good reality check for him.
i get the impression he thinks the fight game is easy from his experiences so far, and am not convinced he'll be able to swim in deep waters. A fight with Romanov would be good for the summer, and bridge the gap between what he's been fighting to date with the top guys in the division. Rees would be good for him as well, he'll be a tough nut to crack at the weight, and though limited he's relentless enough to be a pain in the arse for Khan.
Even if he gets these fights, I feel it'll be too little to late fro him to genuinely have a chance to beat on of the top guys in the autumn.
