  • Paulie Malignaggi: “I doubt he even had 77 amateur fights”.

    His defense is… not there. It is absent. He makes Sebastian Fundora look like Sweet Pea.

    • I think he turned pro too soon. He needed another 300-400 amateur fights to work on his defense.

      • Definitely USF. A good, solid 1000-1100 amateur fights, then he’d probably make for a solid professional.
        With defense like that, there is no way he would have made it through that many fights, even against kids, even with headgear on. If I’m his manager, I do everything in my power to start distancing him from that mess of a record.

    • His chin was so high up in the air it almost got hit by a flying bird……

  • Taller they are the harder they fall, both towering infernos have now been knocked out
