Joel Julio won yesterday.

[El Gamo]

Sometimes,Julio waits for his opponent too long,and his lack of jab means he just rushes in,leaving himself open to counters.

Spot on. That's the big thing he doesn't throw from the outside and sometimes he waits for the guy to throw to slip and try to find an opening to get inside. And that got him pretty far but Quintana was the first guy to double and triple up on the jab and Julio found himself staying on the outside. And when he does throw from the outside to try to get in, it's with the right hand and while his right is good, it's what put down his opponent yestarday, it's not a punch I like him leading with especially from distance.

Although, I didn't see Davis hitting Julio so much. I was a little preoccupied but from what I saw Julio slipped or deflected most everything.

CC in 24 Gamo. It's funny how these guys just disappear from discussion when they lose. Cintron and Julio both were prospects of the year by ESPN and both kind of fell off the map when they lost. I guess Kermit got the IBF but he still isn't talked about so much. Allan Green is a guy I see going the same way.

Very true,we forget these guys that just lose. I think Cintron will be back though.Dude,you are P4P,the most analytical guy here period!! Since I've read your posts,I try to pay more attention to fighters actions too rather than just watch the fight.What you said about Julio and his right hand is so true! It sounds like he has not learnt much from his loss(I've yet to see the fight so cannot say conclusively)
