I'd like to interrupt and say that at his age all of his fights SHOULD be relatively easy. I realise that he is immensely popular already and he demonstrates a good penchant for the fight game, but he is not a fighter like Tyson, Patterson or Vargas who cab be rushed along hoping to pick up a title as quick as possible.

He is a good fighter and one i have liked on the occasions I have seen him but his very appearence illustrates his youth and lack of physical maturity. The lay off since the De Leon fight may well have seen him mature out of the eye of the public, but i still feel a more careful approach will benefit Bautista in the long run. After the Ponce fight it became publicised that he debated whether or not quitting was the right option. I feel this indeed was indicative of his lack of maturity. However now that he is obviously back in the game, training and has a fight set i hope he can move on and fulfil all that potential.
