Boruto isn't that OP yet. It's a trick.

He uses C-Rank Gale Palm to increase his speed, and uses it with clones (or sometimes Lightning channel) to make it appear as if he's stronger than he is.

For an Academy student he's top notch, no doubt. But Genin level ninjas don't seem that far off with Ninjutsu either, mind you that Shizuma knocked his ass down with Boruto stream prior. But when Boruto double increased his speed with shadow clones mid-flight, that's what gave him the temporary victory.

Still he's vastly more talented than Naruto was, and I see him as pre-Genin Sasuke in terms of strength. He can't counter things like Great Breakthrough technique or FireBall jutsu yet. While he's versatile, he's lacking an strong elemental based aoe technique.

Manga Boruto is a different story. The recent feats he's been delivering have been top notch. He's got a long way to go.
