Answer:

simile

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, here, the author compares two things; the boy and the welter-weight cinnamon bear.

There are three main techniques we use when comparing two things:

1) contrast - we compare them based on their differences

2) simile - we compare them based on their similarities using "like" "just like" "same as" etc.

3) metaphor - comparing two seemingly unrelated things by giving one of them characteristics of the other one.

The sentence above is a typical example of simile; two things are compared with the use of comparative connector "like".
