    He cherrypicked a practitioner of one of the multitude of Slick Euro styles (the Slick Spanish Style in this instance) and paid for it dearly just like The Tuscaloser did when he cherrypicked the finest practitioner of the Slick British Style to ever do it in Tyson Fury.

    Its like Adrien Broner all over again. Too small for the division he is fighting in. The guys now at 135 are big. Not sure where he goes from here.

    There's a few good fights for him at 135 now.

    Whether he can find the motivation to get down to 135 and work his way into contention for them is another matter entirely.

    Extremely difficult for a fighter to remain hungry and focused after he's received that much money for one fight.

    Ellie Seckbach told him he should go up to 154 or middleweight and win a title there.

    Mikey is talented but rather undisciplined when it comes to diet.

    too many tacos y tortas.

    eff it let him enjoy life. Adios campéon!

    Excellent comparison and those two are the exact reason winning titles in 4 divisions isn’t a great/very good accomplishment anymore.. Same exact problem..
