I remember him as a kid when he worked out at the Chicago Park District! Good young man, super respectful and very soft spoken! Glad to see him climb the ladder in the ranks! I hope he succeeds in getting a title shot!!
Simms has excellent skills and he’s really fun to watch. I hope he can make a run at 140 and come across a few big fights.
I would like to see a rematch between Simms & Montana Love. The had fought to a draw a few years back.
