When he's countering with straight right hands and straighter left hooks he's damn good.

Well that and his stamina seems a bit iffy at times. So maybe two problems. The lack of power might be a bit of a problem but you can tell he hits hard enough to get people's attention.

The main problem I have is his lack of power. The wide shots etc. is simply a bad habit of becoming unbridled at times. Under control, Joan has excellent technical skills that not too many out there have today. If he had the power, he would easily defeat someone like Diaz at 135.
Well I think he hits hard enough to get respect but the main thing is there's not a whole lot he can do about the power.

He could maybe do something about the wide shots although he is 31 so if he hasn't fixed it yet who knows.
