His only loss was when he was just 21 years old against Jose Luis Zertuche (AKA Pavlik War). He's had quite a few telefutura cards and has looked really good, solid skills and decent power. I am interested to see how he handles Gutierrez, Richard won't give him a chance to set up his punches.Quote:

Thanks for the info mate. Would be good to see another good fighter in the 154-160 ranks as they arent overly strong at the moment. I'll keep an eye out for him now.Quote:
