So, let's start off.
In chapter 25, K states that there are only 2 boxers in the world capable of performing incredibly precise techniques like the ones Jean Pierre displayed, which includes Jean Pierre himself, and Yu. This means that everything that Jean Pierre gets in his Post-Evolution key is stuff Yu could've already done with his own abilities in much earlier keys, since he remains stagnant and skill throughout the series and only ever trained a specific skill against Aaron.
Now since Yu already has most of what Jean Pierre has even in his Post-Evolution key, I think in his first key he should get Jean Pierre's "Limited Damage Reduction" for being able to narrowly turn his body to reduce the damage of attacks. It should be noted that Jean was able to do this against an attack that normally blitzed and nearly one-shot him, so it should count.
Now for the actual proposition, I think Yu should get both "Limited Attack Reflection" and "Reactive Power Level".
During his fight with Aaron, Yu was able to reflect Aaron's fist coming towards him by angling his own fist to slightly deflect the punch coming towards him. This should count for a limited form of Attack Reflection, as Aaron's attacks were previously stated to be so fast that it would be impossible to avoid through sheer speed. This is even further supported by the fact that to even dodge the attacks Yu had to be precise enough to lure Aaron to attack one of his wounds to avoid a direct hit.
This also applies to my case for Reactive Power Level, as it was stated in the same chapter that Yu had begun to adapt to these attacks, becoming able to cleanly dodge and land attacks on Aaron once more.
All of this would apply to his first key, as unlike some abilities, such as durability negation, which it was shown that Yu had actually trained to achieve. It was never shown or stated that Yu trained to achieve these abilities, and so they'd all apply to his first key as inherent abilities.

Before I even propose the next thing, I'm going to let everybody know that nothing suggests that Yu has any form of skill boost between keys. He is already the most skilled Boxer in the verse and in the world(in The Boxer), so anything he's capable of doing through skill, even if shown in a later key, should most likely apply to his first key, as nothing applies he gained these abilities through training, but instead, he already had them, just never had to display them in a fight because he dominates everybody he fights effortlessly besides Aaron who ludicrously outstatted him to insane degrees.

Pretty simple upgrade. In chapter 8, Yu was able to break all the bones in Ryu Baeksan's body through barraging him with punches, putting him in the hospital as a result. Now, apparently this is usually higher if done in one-shot, but, since Yu did it through multiple hits, it's apparently safe to say that this would amount to 9920 joules based on the common feats page, which is apparently the safest assumption. This would also apply to Jean Pierre, who scales above BoS Yu.
But, just to be safe, we can go with a "9-C, possibly 9-C+" since he did it in multiple hits and not just one.
New 9-A calc just got accepted, this would apply to Yu's last key.
