You might be able to give a better opinion after seeing that.

Yeah well TBA is a tough SOB

.....He has more fights against pro debut fighters being hyped for thye media then any other fighter nin history....

For some reason the guy always seems to lose

.....But Damn it he takes the fights!!!!

Seriously though I agree we will see after the fight and depending on what version of TBA...this debut may not be enough to judge...

I was not that impressed with him from the Olympics.....just me

Sounds like he is getting a serious promotional push.I have not seen him,only watched a total of 2 Boxing fencing matches during the Olympics.Lets hope they bring him along gradually and resist the "rush-rush" instant mind set.

What weight does he fight at?

I don't think personally he is as good as Rau'Shee Warren or Gary Russell Jr, but he is good. I noticed that he doesn't hit super solidly or every fight I have seen of him hasn't shown me great power or punching technique, I think Warren and Russell move better, they counter better, and they seem to be p4p faster.
