Ah we have our very first disagreement Mr Spicoli.

I think he gets his feet under his larger meater frame very well.

I see him over commit too when going for it.
Not so much off balance with his general moves in his early work.

Im off to watch some more of him if I can.

Which fight has he been tested the most in that I can look up?
Ha man I'll be honest. Its the hype as much as flaws . Last week or so Ive seen name dropped along with Tyson, Jones jr and Pac. He's gooood, but long ways from them. Then again I've always thought ko's were overrated ha.

He has great speed no doubt. He def over commits and gets stuck in that singular gear, often resulting in him getting caught. Think thats a result of huge push and living up to his tag-line of the next best thing and big banger. Great for fans...bad for him in the long run I believe. Balance has always bugged me....even in that last clip when he gets kd on Solis with right hook he pitches left with both legs straight and anchor right kicking out a bit. Aching for counter. His explosive offense erases alot of his flaws for now.

His fight with Darling Jimenez was billed as 'showcase' on HBO. He ruled fight but case of where his head was caught up in it. Looked like a product rushed to market and frustrated. Check it out..and yes he's gotten better.

His bouts with Speedy Gonzalez, Estrada, Jose Rojas were nice. Gonzalez was off brutal war and undersized but showed some moments with movement and boxing. Salido was a solid proven dude but single geared. Gamboa loaded up and then gets dropped. He did make some adjustment but fought way to 'tight' and flustered. I think it was Gamboas best win, or at least the one from which he takes the most. I don't hate the guy, shit he's fun TV and has natural speed but he''s always struck me as rushed and not developing reliable second game plan when all dont fall over.
