Genuine KO power in that left hook. Be interesting to see how he does at higher levels.

Looks like a great puncher, don't see it much at the lower weights.
Of course at a higher level fighters will be able to avoid the big shots and he will need to be able to carry his power to the later rounds, and be able to tot up the rounds in between.
Exciting prospect

his ko rate is just over 50 percent, and not at a high level. i don't think he's a great puncher. the guy he splatted last time is a random clubfighter from paraguay who was ko'd in 1 not many fights before.
my impression from watching him is that he's more of a wear you down, accumulator type vs decent opponents. had foley down but couldnt stop him. he had a good, very close fight vs that unbeaten armenian which he won out in a battle of attrition late on. looked fit and strong, though with limitations. looks like could have potential for a euro title.
