What happened to Mike Oliver?

[Mar]

....not sure about his jaw but it at the least does seem suspect. He's been a different fighter ever since he's tried to do more boxing and less brawling.

He was found out to be below the elite level. Good fighter, but missing some the important elements of a champion.

Reynaldo caught him trying to be cute, it was obvious Lopez's power was being felt by him in the first place. Escalante just outclassed him period, Oliver had no chance in that fight. Oliver has amazing handspeed, definately one the quickest in boxing, but that's all he has. At the level he lost at you cannot win by speed alone. He could still be a fringe contender and honestly with a good trainer in his corner he could move back up in his division, but I think his bad habits run too deep and he got to used to just beat his opponents to the punch.

I am weary of jumping the gun on a guys career,may be the case here but he really looked bad last out.Escalante just mopped the floor with him.His legs seemed rigid even at the early stages and he was affected badly with lasting effect when his chin was touched.Kept rising up,heart though.Honestly felt bad for em.

I was rooting for Gary Stark Jr to beat him and I thought he did, but the judges saw it in favor of Oliver.

I was happy to see him get sparked out by Lopez.

Yeah man.. Kid Stark got that fight, and i think thats where mike mikes career went downhill since.. personally i think he lost all his confidence after taking that decision and he hasnt been impressive since..

he couldnt think he had the stark fight cause his corner told him he needed the ko.. and hes not been the same since.. shame cause i grudge a bad decision against him but he was still good and had potential

The next Ed Hopson. All speed. Nothing else
