    I have seen plenty of guys blast their way through C and D class competition to get up ended against someone who can fight. All Fighting Bums does is teach mistakes and I need to see him against Rubio to see if I should bet for or against him in the future.

    We will learn a lot more about him in the next 12 months.
    His power seems first rate, but other than that i don't know how good he'd be skill-wise at the highest level, or how good his chin is. I've seen three of his fights and was impressed with his poise and obviously his power. But his technique seemed pretty basic.
    I am now definitley interested to see how he'll do.

    David Lemieux, Gennady Golovkin, Dmitry Pirog all have incredible amateur careers and are along with one or two others the future of the division.

    Some of the non-believers said similar things before Lemieux-Ayala. We know that went well. :lol:

    Lemieux didn't have an international amateur career.

    Looked good against sub par opposition.
    Too soon to tell but....
    Every fight tells more (friday is the next step).

    Should he dispatch Rubio early, it will only cement what we already know about his power.

    I think Martinez would toy with him (but who can beat him right now anyway???)

    he has short arms and sloping shoulders usualy guys built like this have tremendous power, they generate incredible leverage and can knock ur ass out and all they need is six inches, think Rocky Marciano.

    conditioning will be the huge factor here how long can he grind and deliver crunching shots he has decent technique and tremendous power if he has Margarito type Stamina and relenlessness to go with a chin everyone but Martinez better start worrying at 160. as he looks now I think he would if he were at 154 KO Cotto?

    Just so you know it - he doesn't have supershort arms.

    It's his shoulders that aren't big. From armpit to knuckles, hi arms are something like 25.5'', which is normal for a MW.
