    Yunier Dorticos is another one in that mould, flat flooted. Good power though.

    Infact Yordenis Ugas is another, a little too flat footed again ! Precise though.

    I wan't all that impressed by Despaigne even when he was pasting guys in one. Very flat-footed, his method of avoiding punches is one massive lunge back and his assaults are all highly telegraphed blows. Wild right hand too, no matter what way he throws it, his entire body swings wildly to the left with no protection.

    Sillakh gave him a pasting. Glad you're coming around to Silakh gooners? You seemed a bit doubtful of him I seem to remember.

    I watched Ugas fight this guy with the exact same shorts/gloves/shoes/skin colour as him, and I couldn't distinguish between him and his opponent for a good two rounds. Which kind of told me that he wasn't all that good.

    He isn't that good^^. Quite a pedestrian pace he sets. He fights like he's got Julian Jackson power hidden inside those fists, but he really really hasn't :lol:

    I heard Frankie has been making grown men cry in the gym he's looking so sharp. Experienced pros can't even get near him

    Hope springs eternal, stranger things & bigger upsets have happened before

    If not Curtis then someone soon will just walk Buntime down ignoring his pitter patter shots & smash him up
