Otis was a professional NFL footballer who had 9 am fights before making his pro debut on the show, He learned the game as he went along, he won the show and then did pretty well in his career to go on to win the NABO title.

He then took on Danny Green on at 4 days notice flying 23 hours out to Austrailia (Crazy) and if you actually watch the fight Otis got hit on the back of the head, he went down and complained tot he ref, in a neutral area it would not have been a knock down, then Danny piled on him and bundled him over twice more and was subject to the 3 knock down rule. I am not saying he would have won but he was not knocked out.

Jesse Brinkley he boiled himself down to 165lbs a weight that if you look at his picture he is a big boy, he actually walked into the ring at 166lbs as he had made himself ill. He struggled through and was eventually stopped in the 11th round after not being knocked down but the ref obviously sensed something was wrong, he was then rushed to hospital on the verge of a heart attack as his pottasium and sodium levels were dangerously low.

Then came the crazy fight in Germany with a guy by the time they stepped in the ring was over 30lbs heavier than him he boxed and moved but the guy caught up with him in the 3rd and he was knocked down and stopped.

The he came to me, I see ability in him and think with the right guidence can do well. We took the lacy fight at short notice but knew Lacy was not the Lacy of old. It was in Lacy's home town and on a Lacy promotions so we knew we would have to win big. Otis worked really hard, was in great shape obviously there is still a lot of work to do with the kid but he put on a great show. Lacy is not the fighter he once was but he is still a good fighter, to say he is a joke etc is crazy, he is a tough kid and hits hard and has a big heart. You look at his loses Joe Calzaghe who has taken apart many great fighters, and Jermain Taylor more recently who holds wins of BHop which is not something many can brag about.

Lacy came in fit and put up a good fight but Otis was better and hit Lacy with some big shots, and bullied the smaller guy. The florida commission agrred that Griffin should have won the fight, nevertheless it is what is and he got robbed. To say he is a bum is as big a joke as when I took over the training of Yusaf Mack last january and to be honest most of the guys on here were quick to slate Barron for promoting his guy and how Yusaf was a bum and didn't train and all that stuff, now he is in line for one of the major belts and holding wins over some decent guys the opinions have changed.

I turned Yusaf around and I will be turning Otis around, he is back in camp 26th April and in the next year you will see him up there and beating the best mark my words.
Griffin is garbage and will never be world class
You underestimate me haha, you guys said the same about Yusaf Mack
