Brandon Vera, what you guys think?
Heres a vid of brandon being interviewed. his switching from tagalog to english so it may be hard to follow for non filipinos. His 8-1 right now, just recently lost a decision to tim sylvia but what do you guys think. How good is he?

(Note: i notice they said his mother is filipina but I think they got it the other way around cause its his father thats filipino and his mother is italiana.)

Brandon is good, but he could be a great LHW. He will always be competitive in HW fights but I think will consistantly lose against top competition. At LHW he could really make some noise though.

Yea maybe your right, but even though his a small heavyweight IMO he may still have a hard time dropping from 220 to 205. I don't think his one of those guys that like or can drain themselve to fight. He prefers to keep loose without having to make weight.
What did you think bout the fight with tim sylvia van?

Re: Brandon Vera, what you guys think?
after the sylvia fight vera said that he broke his hand on the 2nd round i think. thats why in the final round he was using his elbow alot.
vera also insisted that he will remain in HW even if he is a bit small he will never go down to LHW.
he is a good striker and has some potential to be a contender but because of his former manager he wasnt able to get much tv time. and couture was the big name in HW.
