Sheep,

Who trains him? Where is he from?

I saw him in the Ray Robinson fight and you're right that he looked good.

As far as I know he's a Louisiana boy from up in Lafayette. I have no idea who trains him, but I am very interested to find out. My step sister lives out there, I'll see if she can keep an eye out on the local news. For all I know he could be training in Tokyo though.

Ok I had to change his am record to correctly state 74-5, the 20-5 was his tournament record.

He is training in Georgia now.

I remember him from my amateur days. I believe it was at nationals in Omaha when I first thought his talent stood out to me. I told my cousin this kid looks like he is going to be a very good pro. During that tournament he displayed RJJ like athleticism. But as a pro I haven't really been as impressed. But I've only seen a couple of his pro fights. But I can definitely tell he fights differently.

Do you know any more specifics about his amateur career?

I didn't really follow him or anything but I think this was 2006 and he was either a returning National Golden Gloves winner or he won it that year. Maybe both. I got beat the second day so I went back home before the tournament concluded. But it surprised me because no one was talking about this kid and to me he was clearly the most talented in the tournament. But thats all I got I wish I knew more.
