From what I know he had an amateur career of about 300 fights, but was restricted from the Golden Gloves, at least at a national level, because of various brushes with the law. I believe he might have won Golden Gloves in Ohio or at least Cincinatti, but I can't be sure. But, he's definitely got his experience, although the footwork remains a major problem and one that would definitely have to be addressed before he stepped it up majorly. I think his career has been managed nicely and to me it's just a shame that more prospects don't get blooded in this way.
