    Seems like a crazy observation, he took some of Gamboas shots flush without budging. If he stays at lightweight he cleans out but should go the light welter and go for Garcia. That's a very winnable fight for him. Also think he'd beat Algieri very easily so that would be a handy title.

    no beauty. I am far from crazy and if WE all liked the same thing life would be boring.!

    yea but surely even if you dont like a guys style etc you can still recognize how good he is? I think hes a complete boxer, good speed, decent power, good skills, can fight ortho and southpaw. He might struggle against bigger fighters when he moves up but he is a very good world champion.

    Well I was expecting him to wipe the floor with Burns, and he did not he won fair enough a lot of
    hype you no this game, he was made out to be King Kong but to me he's more like Wacko Jacksons

    Never liked him and have always thought him completely overrated and I dont use that term as a rule. Nor do I write fighters off after losing a fight but I wrote him off long before this even though I had a few doubts a week or two leading up. He had a Jones sized ego the moment he got off the boat and then it was enabled by Arum. A brave showing sure but he looked like Roy at the beginning of his decline tonight. Fell in love with the silk sheets like Oddly Harrison and just like him it ended what could have been something special.

    What I could not believe was his absolute lack of head movement in the kill zones. Go out to the yard and place a stick into the ground. Now go to the fridge and grab a potato. I was going to say tomato but that underrated fruit wont survive this test. Ok lastly blindfold yourself in punching range and set a timer for a minute. Count the number of times you nail Mr. Potato head?

    Never seen a guy that physically talented that oblivious to head movement. Like he was missing his neck.

    Long on flash but short on fundamentals.

    Sorry but I enjoyed watching him get ktfo. Walking in with his arms down and mug out like that he deserved it.
