Best American Prospect at 168

Too early to call but look out for my boy from East L.A. Shawn Estrada.

It has to be Direll imo.

Dirrell's a bit all offense or all defense, he comes unglued a bit too easily and he doesn't look like the sturdiest guy but he does have a lot of natural potential so I guess I'd say him but I wouldn't count out Ward yet. I think he'll beat Miranda.

Looked like HBO was focused in a big way on spr Middle hopefuls coming up.Daniel Jacobs secured a key spot on that card in rare turn around time for fighters today,fighting just 8 days prior.I think the kids got a future and great size.....but he really did not leave me clamoring for the front row seat in his next one ??He got some much needed rounds and had to change up his game midway.It should benefit him greatly.

But man,that dude stands so tall.Head straight up.He showed some flurries but not much consistent steam.He was a little caught up in the moment,constantly checking the over head display,getting cute with the camera,winking ,kissing,talking to crowd between rounds.Should be fun too watch but thinking they should take time with him,to many guys rushed today.

Matt Korobov,very early in professional development but that one is a beast of a powerful southpaw.Considering the mis matched opposition,Steward and Lampley were going over the top pumping him up,just a bit.He looked smoother than he had last time he was on ESPN,not as rigid.And damn sure looks to have some serious one punch power,chops to the body axe handle style.Arum looks to have lofty hopes for him.Looong way to go though.

NOOOO...unless he develops better defense or better handspeed I think he's a less powerful Fernando Vargas.

Dirrell is pretty good, I am not sold on Ward being the end all be all, but he should still be pretty good.

...if only Tavoris Cloud was at 168
