Yes. He was in a bit of an unfair spot. He was willing to fight better fighters but couldn't get them at the time. He got the belt and had lesser opponents, was probably outgrowing the division just as he had a real threat. If he left the division many(I'm guilty here) would have said it was to avoid Spence. He showed his metal. And he deserves respect for accepting a bad situation And taking it on head first.
