    Jacobs has been fed opponents he has so much skill and speed that at this level everyone is hopelessly overmatched in 10 fights he's beaten guys he could have had for his debut he has got to get a move on. But it's just been 10 fights in a short span so it's not so bad. As far as his weaknesses we don't know he hasn't been tested yet at all to see him go to plan b.

    Urabano Antillon is kind of obvious. He's square all the time but he works a good jab and has a great sense of spacing that makes up for that. Still, the flaw there is that he is squared up all the time. In terms of speed he doesn't have a whole lot but timing and power have made up for that so far. And spacing, he spaces his shots perfectly every one of them.

    LaMont Peterson, with him it just seems to be one gear. Turns it up occasionally but never really gets firey or at least he doesn't express it he just goes about his business. Maybe if he gets a rough enough opponent like Ricardo Torres maybe that costs him. Also he boxes from a fairly tight shell so maybe you can keep him in that for long enough to pepper away.

    Anthony Peterson, same deal really except Anthony is much more offensive and he moves his feet a lot more he tries to change distances and all that good stuff where LaMont tends to stick from the outside and let go from there and just counter in.

    I don't know where to start on Vanes. Just seems like he's there to be hit to much and his punches are awkward, I don't know he just isn't anything tremendously special in the pro ranks, not yet at least.

    Andre Ward still makes some amateurish mistakes that he tries to get away with because of his handspeed, he still chops with the straight right a lot which is dangerous he does it with his left all the way down. Still jumps in occasionally and pitterpats, but still a very smart fighter.

    Is it wrong to consider Andre Berto a still maturing prospect Even as Champion.

    I think Gamboa has a KO coming his way.Antillon is Ready for a go,disagree a bit Amat.He has a full arsenal coming off stance,body/head offense..not entirely squared up to me without setting it up.

    I agree Spicoli I think Antillon has been very impressive every single time I've seen him I think he's an incredibly capable offensive fighter. I do think the guy who gives him the most problems is the one who tries to turn Antillon but Antillon is so balanced and spaces himself so perfectly I don't know if it is going to work for anyone at 129 right now.
