For example, his last opponent was considered durable and he was supposed to last a couple of rounds. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. The hard thing with the kid is to test him for the last rounds without shooting him too early like Boom Boom Bautista for example. Raines, his last opponent went all 12 rounds against Tarvis Simms and only got knocked out 2 times in his career, the guy can bang and is normally durable.
As it seems that a few of you seem to be interesting in our young french canadian prospect, I would like to have your opinion: If you could pit him against any boxer, considering he hasn't yet been able to fight more than 5 rounds, who would be a good challenge for him without putting his young career too much at risk?
