    Was he any good? I remember reading a few articles saying he was going to be a big deal when he turned pro, but I never saw him fight. Why did he abruptly retire after going undefeated in 6 fights?

    Fractured his right hand and did ligament damage in August 2017 and apparently fell out of love with the sport.

    Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. A shame that happened to him. I watched some film of his last night and while he may not have had power he sure had good speed for a big guy and I liked his jab too. Wish we could have seen what he was capable of as he stepped up.
