    Victim of circumstance to a degree and so so management.

    It took him a long time before the U.S networks were willing to pick him up, even though he had expressed interest in fighting the big names.

    He tried to get into the Aussie market...but only could manage one fight there..at least two fights he had lined up in Australia got canned..He also had two fights with Australian based fighters fall through.
    He beat some pretty alright Japs on their home turf aswell.

    Dont look at his numbers so much, its not like he has been pissing away his career just fighting stiff after stiff...He was 32-0 when he first challenged for the interim title, before then his record was pretty padded which is typical of a lot of fighters in the region. He turned pro at 19 and had a fairly long apprenticeship.

    That's because he only fights in Indonesia and Japan.

    His fight with Rocky Juarez in Texas is his first fight in U.S.

    If he beats Juarez he might get a shot at Israel Vazquez who's inteerested in moving up.
