Latimore looked great, Powell looked stoned and apparently he was. I remember Atlas saying how Deandre had an inflated record and it should be an easy fight for Powell. Latimore looked solid not exceptional, but very solid good fundamentals, bad mohawk, but he was definately in control that fight. The stoppage was a definately premature, but Latimore led well and had answers for everything Sechew threw at him.
I think Latimore should be able to cut off the ring and work inside of Spinks jab, but I think that Spink's straight left could make a big impression
