Thread: Did Anyone Watch Alex De Jesus Tonight?

Fought on Telefutura tonight.

He wasn't exactly fighting world class opposition but I was very impressed with him tonight. Very slick Puerto Rican southpaw, was very elusive in there tonight. I noticed he had the Dominican flag on his trunks as well as the PR and US flags, he reminded me a bit of Joan Guzman without the power.

Not much power but very nice elusive skills, very nice. Fights at 140, that division is getting more and more stacked by the day with young talent and he only adds to it. Fights with his hands a bit low at times, likes to lead with the straight left and sometimes leans out in front with it a bit to much and when he presses forward he isn't terribly accurate but for most of the night he just potshotted which is always fun to watch for me. Very impressed with his elusiveness though, Navarrate wasn't much but he landed maybe 5 clean blows all night and really had all the air taken out of him by that. When he was little he was nicknamed "Whitaker", can see why. Very, very impressed with this guy, especially with some of his combinations he would lead with the left, kind of lean in and then pull back and shoot the right hook like very few I've ever seen. Very fun to watch, the fans were booing a bit but I thought he showed great skill.

Anyone else watch? Anyone know anything else about him as far as amateur pedigree or anything goes? I imagine he was a good amateur to have those skills. Macho? lol

I thought he looked good. He could of stopped his opponent earlier, but over all it was a good performance.

El Pollo is one of the better prospects we got coming out of our Island. He represented Puerto Rico in the 2004 olympics and has won silver medal at the 2003 Pan American games along with silver at the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games. Not to sure of his amature record.

Hey Amat , well , i saw last night some of few rounds , like the first 6 rounds , i had to go work , but what i saw in the half of fight he looks very good taking his time , throwing his shots with precision and taking the Control in the whole fight..........................

But i could read today the news and he won by TKO on round 12 , who put in bad condition to Navarrete in round 11 and took the determination to finish to Navarrete in the last round 12 , Alex " El Pollo " De Jesus now is considered like one of stronger boxer on the JW Div..., this fight represented for him like a step to reach the place that he want for the future ...................
De Jesus is a good boxer i hope he could keep on , he in his past had several personal problems and a problem to make weight , now he said that all of that he left in that past and now everything will be different...

Yeah Amat , he been on Amateur and if i dont mistake he won a Silver Medal , he been with Juanma Lopez on Amateur Boxing.........

hey yo amat when do you come back?
