sorry, i don't have the data handy? you want to call them analagous b/c in both situations the trained fighter has a weight disadvantage but has a superior level of technical skill, but you are overlooking the relative levels of strength. an untrained adult who has a significant weight advantage is almost definitely going to be much stronger than a 14 year old. as such the next best alternative is not a good method of comparison.
edit: despite giving up weight arturo gotti is going to be stronger than the average untrained person fighting him. the same will not be true for this kid if he is fighting an adult. i'm not questioning the kid's abilities, but you are overestimating his advantage
edit2: asking for evidence of trained teenage fighters against adults is weaksauce, btw. do i really need to go grab some data to indicate why the average adult will still be stronger than a 14 year old? note i said stronger, not in better physical condition
