So I feel Bautista may feel the same branding Iron Lewis felt after the McAll and Rahman losses.
I wish Bautista luck, he seems like a nice young guy and he can punch himself so perhaps that loss could be the best thing ever to happen to him. I still rate him a lot higher than fellow super bantam Bernard Dunne who suffered an identical fate around the same time.
Actually,it was his fight before the Ponce fight which lead to people calling him chinny. I can't remember the name of the fighter but he Bautista wobbled. I dont think it's over for Boom Boom,no way,but I do think he needs to come up slowly,bide him time.
It was Sergio Medina fight. Which took place on the Mayweather-De La Hoya undercard. Bautista was hurt badly by Medina. He was actually out on his feet. But received a standing 8 count. Which helped him recover. With out the standing 8, I think Medina would of finished him
he busted up and nearly knocked out medina also before and after boom boom was stunned. rey wasn't standing he was actually holding on to the ropes while trying to duck punches on a croching stance. he wobbled across the ring but was not as close to getting knocked out as medina was once or times during the fight.
i told everyone before that fight goldenboy don't give a shyt about rey, they sent him out to two straight dangerous fighters. medina and ponce, at the age of 21 promoters that gave a damn would of gave rey easier oppenents til he mature into his prime. Not send him out to veteran world champions two straight in a row. I can't recall any 21 year olds fighting caliber fighters like that. jcc jr gets midgets or no hope bums, and rey gets starve pitbulls. just an example of protected fighter and an unleash one.
