Someone came up with hyped.

Then "overhyped"

Anything better?

Maybe overexposed?

I don't think Sergio is overhyped or overratted at all, I think his strengths and weaknesses have been well assessed. Maybe he gets too much exposure although I'd actually disagree with that personally. He has got a lot less exposure than Peter Manfredo and Alfonso Gomez despite winning the show. I think what it boils down to is that people just don't like him much and they hate to see him on tv at all.

To be honest apart from when he fights very little is said about him. It's not that he's overatted, it's just that people don't warm to him hence their wanting to bash him all the time.

If you just look at him totally objectively he's an unbeaten fighter, who has a slick awkward style but lacks power. He has a reasonably impressive resume having won the Contender show and beating established boxers like Ishe Smith, Peter Manfredo and Jess Brinkely all of whom have fought world champions or ex world champions. With only 11 fights going into the Contender he was one of the least experienced but came through and has remained unbeaten since.

That's just the facts as they are. Nobody yet knows if he can go onto become a major player in the division and no boxing commentator has ever hyped him as being the next big thing in the division. But with Miranda and Jermain Taylor moving up and Winky's future uncertain the field at 160 is pretty much wide open. He's on the fringe of breaking into the top 10 and we'll see were he goes from there.
