He's a battler. I like him, far from the best fighter in the world but he gives 100% of what he has and sometimes hard work, determination, a decent punch, good beard and a little bit of luck can take you further than anyone thought possible.
that actually wouldn't shock me that much

I'm kidding about him a bit although I still have a hard time forgetting how crappy he looked against Kendall Holt, granted that was a tough matchup for him, and for the first, what, 11 rounds of the Santa Cruz fight. Credit to him for finding a way to win that but I do think he's a pretty average guy.
He's a limited guy for sure, but he's made the most of what he has and I can respect that. If he fought any of the other guys I'd probably root for him. Apart from not being as good as the others there's nothing really not to like about him. A good honest pro who keeps on battling even when the chips are down.

He seems to be one of the most unpopular fighters on this forum and it's a bit unfair imo.
A lot of Morales fans were pissed that he got the decision which really wasn't his fault and that is a bit unfair. I guess I'm being hypocritical cause I have to admit I was annoyed with Taylor for getting questionable decisions.

I don't really like him or dislike him, just don't think he's on most of these guys level, well at least not Juan, Pac's or Casa's.
