    Yep. and I remember it. He was just Jose Benavidez's fat ass brother. Now he's the better brother.

    I see chubby kids lose weight as they hit puberty all the time. Happened to quite a few I know. It’s the grossly overweight kids with lazy parents who normally don’t change.

    A chub kid I knew got yoked with puberty then he found weed and became skinny

    Kind of sad. The energetic kid with a bright personality became a zombie.

    I myself quit smoking weed because I was realizing it was transforming me in a piece of meat.

    People say it's harmless. Probably it's not too bad for the body, but it completely destroys mind and will. As soon as I realized, I quit, and I've never smoked weed again. I refuse to be a destroyed human being, slow minded and without will. I prefer to be dead.

    I wrote a comment before and I deleted it because I dont like to look like a nut hugger. But I'll rephrase it. This kid has talent, even if we cannot see a lot in this video, I think that the kid's talent (11 yo, remember) can be easily appreciated.

    Weed should only be used to stop pain and insomnia. All this high THC rubbish destroys you slowly.

    Weed must completely destroy your appetite. One of my childhood best friends who was always fat started smoking at like 14 and he lost an insane amount of weight by the time he was 16. Christian Bale levels of weight loss. Nice guy but I stopped going about with him when he got involved with drugs and other idiots. He actually looks good but he’s probably incredibly unhealthy and wouldn’t have the energy to run up even a slightly steep hill. Just smokes all day every day and doesn’t eat enough I think.

    He's got hands in that clip, evident the talent has been there for some time.

    TBF Jose got shot in his leg and went 11.5 rounds with arguably the best WW today. Crawford himself said Jose was one of his toughest fights.

    Damn he had a natural flow when he was a fat kid. Hope he doesn’t become a waste of talent

    Damn. Reminds me of Lamello Ball. I was watching the kid in HS scrawny skinny kid and look at him now balling in the pros holding his own. Kid might be better than Zion and Lonzo combined.
