short version:

I've always been interested in seeing high level guys like Loma or Canelo or Mayweather try out MMA, to see what strategies or procedures they might bring to display given their background(s), but i know it'll always be a pipe dream since there's no way they'd take the risk.

Hard to make assessments of someone from adolescent or pre-adolescent performances, given how variable things are then.

You can at the very least say he has the 'go-get-it', or focus/motivation in his movement attitude that a lot of kids don't have at that age, which you could probably confidently retrodict from his achievements later in life anyways (not always necessarily the case either though of course; some kids who go hard in early competitions that burn out, and other kids who don't really become motivated till they get older but still become great).
