    What do you guys think.?? He impressed me with his demolition of Morel, did it more impressively then Mares. Classic Mexican style, effective aggresivness, good stamina chin, body puncher. Moving up to 122. Kid is the goods IMO. How would he do against Mares,Rigo or Nonito?is it too early for them?

    Potential great in the making if he's brought along right.

    Would love to see him against Joseph Agbeko.

    I wasn't that impressed in his fight to win the belt, but he looked great against Morel. Exciting new guy in a division that's been mostly depleted due to its stars going to 122.

    Unbelievable.

    Seemingly came out of nowhere to win his title, he's now showing the ability to be one of the best in the world in his division.

    Like a mini-margarito coupled with tons of skill and variety.

    I am not sure if he fights at 118 or 122 but he is a good add on to a stacked division, Mares, Rigo, Donaire, Agbeko, Moreno, Darchinyan, Arce, Montiel, etc.

    Leo and Jesus Rojas are good add-ons to the division.

    Dude is a ****in' beast!!

    His body punching, punch placement, workrate, combinations...all ridiculous!

    His defense aint too bad neither...kept a very tight guard i think.

    Definetly will be looking out for him in the future!! :good

    His fight with Morel this past saturday night will supposively be his last at 118lbs.

    He will be another great addition to an already stacked 122lbs, no doubt about it.

    Dude is a complete bad ass, and would give anyone around that weight class hell. His body work may be the best in boxing right now...
