    The only publicity he seems to get is when Pacquiao and Khan have whipped him in sparring.

    Anybody seen him fight? Is he good?

    Once he steps up, he's gonna get starched...saw him fighting on FNF last, he didn't look like anything special...he did a lot of bouncing around the ring from what I remember lol

    Yeah, I remember that. Everybody was picking on him. And they should, because it's not going to work well for him. I think he's good enough as a total package but if he doesn't polish up to a more pro style, I don't think he'll do well.

    He bounces too much , one day somebody will bounce him out of the ring when he steps up UNLESS he drastically improves , mostly becoming a real pro boxer and not an amateur boxer in the pro ring .
     
  6. He's good for target practise....we know that much.

    Didn't think to highly of him on FNF. At least when he got tagged he changed his game plan, that showed a little maturity.
    But I truly believe he is sparring partner material, high energy, throws a lot of NON-damaging punches, moves well, and can go inside a little. When he steps up he will get knocked out.

    He better get Roach in his corner if he is going to improve. He has respectable speed but not out of the ordinary.

    He's good, IMO. I saw him also on FNF and while he didn't show much power, he has the movement down. He was also fighting a pretty giant middleweight, I was surprised they would put him in with someone like that, his opponent was pretty good.
