Kids highlights man yeah as we speak.
I got his highlight on of his last fight here: um uh, very interesting um.
I’Ve never got a chance to to to study him as an amateur, but uzbekistan is in the past.
Couple of olympics have been known olympics in world championships.
Any international competition really they’ve, been uh they’ve, been known to to produce some very good boxers in the past couple of uh past decade or two um.
But the interesting that i that i see about uh wonder boy here is that um his style is different.
Like a lot of these guys that stay amateur for a long time, even even even though they might be successful at the amateur level, some of them have a hard transition to the pro level, because it’s a slower pace, um, it’s not about the the the the Number of punches, but about the effectiveness of the punches um but wonderboy seems to have made this smooth transition yeah.
He looks like a pro.
He doesn’t.
He doesn’t look like.
He still has that amateur style that he’s trying to trying to get rid of um.
So yeah yeah he’s looking good he’s feeling good.
With that left hand down, he does, but he does keep his right hand right by his chin, yeah um, so yeah man, he doesn’t have a he’s, not he’s not a household name now, but if he keeps along this path he definitely will be one of those Guys that definitely he does have the potential to become one of those household names for matchroom for sure uh.
You know uzbekistan.
Yes, they are putting out some great athletes.
Man, definitely some some great prospects coming out of there.
Eddie hearns got his ear to the ground because he’s you know snatching them up and uh.
You know we got this kid here who um who’s, definitely performing really really well man staying undefeated so far you know nine kos in his career so far and uh.
It shows man, the kid’s got a bit of a bit of style to him.
You know i like that.
He’S got some flash.
You know he’s got that swagger.
That uh, that you know these boxers that have super confidence, have and definitely has it, because he’s got that knockout power uh, you know he’s real quick man.
He’S very elusive.
He’S got great head movement, man in his defense and he’s got power in those hands.
He’S got a leaping left hook, man that just closes that distance real fast that he can just you know, take guys heads off and guys.
I can’t wait to see this kid back in the ring.
Man uh.
If you haven’t yet go check out his unanimous decision win, which was back, may the seventh uh, you know uh check it out.
Man, definitely a great fight uh.
You know it was uh against uh.
Christian gomez.

You know he’s just one of these kids been definitely uh.
One to watch.
Man born uzbekistan now lives in brooklyn, new york, um he’s uh managed by vadim cornolf, who, i believe is bridge bridge sports management team.
Our management is the name of the company, so guys check out this kid man.
You know he’s ranked second out of 19 in this country 28 and 1984 in the world.
You know in that welter division.
Definitely a kid to watch uh coming up.
You will hear this kid’s name over and over again man.
This kid is definitely what to watch.
Man so guys you heard it here, cedric anything else.
You want to add about this kid as you as you watch those highlights of him knocking people out right now, yeah um yeah, i’m very impressed on how he’s made that transition.
I guess he gets like i’m very surprised, like for a lack of a better term that he’s adapted this uh american style.
I guess you can stay with the with the lead hand, down and the right hand up looking for more catching and slipping a lot.
Most eastern european boxers don’t really fight like that, like with the hand down and and putting a little bit of style to their to their to their game.
So it’s very interesting.
He lives in brooklyn new york.
So that’s maybe that’s how he uh got some of that style in him.
Now that yeah american style um, you know he is.
He is a highly decorated amateur man uh, you know he’s winning gold at the asian championships in 2017, the same year.
He took gold in the world championships in hamburg, uh and then also the year before that uh rio general.
He took silver at the olympic games, so you know this.
Kid is a highly decorated amateur man having darn, you know the silver at the olympic games, and then next year you know pushing these two golds yeah, you know and then being signed uh and making his professional debut on march of 2018.
Guests have made his professional debut against nicolas alto vasquez in argentina, and he won that fight after knocking velasquez out uh, with a left hook to the body within the first minute of the opening round.
