Be too calm like dawson and people cry, be over the top people still cry. This is a kid fighting men give the dude a break. Hell there are those wanting him to skip is progression and fight wlad already. Things like what he said last fri shows he's right where he needs to be. There was a whole fight that happened that night too and people care about the 5 seconds he said something in his corner ??!! I'm not necessarily disgree'in with ya boston i just think with all the sunshine people are blowing up the kid's ass what do you expect. I give him a pass on all that stuff if he keeps looking decent, and he has.
Thing is he doesn't need to work on his physical tools at all, the skill is there, the speed is there, the power well it is what it is. It's the mental game he needs to work on, as Pride said there is really no benefit on bringing a guy up like Andrade slowly he needs some friction to get his head in the game and he needs to do it now while he's young so he doesn't get soft when he's stepping up to the top level.
