    Hands down by his side, Lunging in wildly with shots, over commiting when he has his guy hurt, but i everytime i watch him i cant help but think someone is gonna Brutally KTFO this guy sooner or later, thing is WHO?

    Anyone else agree with this?

    Yup, he's fun to watch but he seems to hit the deck a fair amount.

    he's my fave fighter but I admit he'll probably suffer a few knockouts, I have no doubts that he'll recoup and have success though. his hand speed, athleticism and killer instinct is amazing to watch despite his defensive flaws.

    Yep, and that part of why im a fan. Hes vulnerable and exciting. Ill take a Gamboa or Juanma over a more perfect defensive fighter anyday.

    His low guard certainly makes him vulnerable however his exceptional footwork dilutes some of the risk.

    I think he'll be knocked out in the next year or two (especially if he fights Lopez) BUT he'll still have a brilliant career, and he'll have the better record than Lopez when he hangs them up.

    Yeah, you keep saying it in boxing and eventually will happen, what I want to know who is going to cost that "accident", hey if I play the same numbers over and over again, I may win the lotto.

    If he fights Lopez? You most be dreaming, Arum will feed Lopez to Gamboa when his value (lopez) is no more, Lopez doesn't stand a chance against Gamboa and I don't c anyone at 126 lbs that could give him trouble, Lopez needs to settle things with salido, which I don't think will happen, from now on Lopez will fight cab drivers, he was never that good and the promotion machine that he had behind him put him on the map, but he will get his a$$ kick if he fights Gamboa.
