Jason Knight is a guy I expected nothing from and have continued to be surprised with. He's only 24, and has a 16-2 professional record and 5-0 amateur with notable wins over guys like Jim Alers 13-3, Musa Khamanaev 17-5 and Thiago Moises 9-1. He's tenacious, shows skills everywhere the fight goes and puts on a torrential pace.
He's show some holes, he definitely fades a bit in fights and takes some unnecessary damage, mostly I think these two things come from him approaching every fight as if he's going to war. but the physicality and athleticism is surprisingly there more than I expected, the speed, technique and heart are too. I expect he's going to outclass Bruce Leeroy in a wild fight. I do think he's going to need to find a better gym to train at, at least for fight camps because Mississippi won't cut it forever. His fight IQ is another real concern, but he's a talented prospect under the radar and this is a great fight.
