    Watching his fight the other night and almsot felt embarresed for him.He has little to no skills.It was a laugh IMO he looked like he never been to a gym before.Im not usually this critical of a fighter,but damn he looked horrible.terrible footwork,looked to not have a clue how to throw a proper punch,I don't know,I laughed most of the through his fight,just picturing what the top fighters would do to him.The guy he fought was twice as skilled,to bad deloen was to strong for him.

    VB looks better hitting the bag. Now you know I think Deleon is bad.

    I've never smelt him so not sure about that but I've got to say I was cringing with embarassment at his "boxing" the other day.

    doesn't have the best textbook stlye, but the man is exciting.....that's about the worst fight i've seen him in....even in his lost to caballero he fought alot more.....

    he's definately a badass.....

    I'm not a huge fan of his but he does pack a pretty good punch though its quite wide and sloppy.....now that I think about it the first textbook boxing technition he faces he will lose.

    Sorry Freddy Ponce De Leon is a bit too raw for my taste.

    He usually looks good - every fighter has a bad night. What's important is the WIN!

    People seriously need to watch a fighter more than once before making that kind of assessment.

    Did you guys hear Larry Merchant said that PDL would like to pattern his fighting skills to Pacquiao?? He said PDL watch & Studied Pac fights. But I don't see any resemblance of Pac style in any of his fights.

    POnce is still Exciting though, I called it Funny-Ugly Exciting. I still prefer to watch him than Real Stinkers like Raheem & Casa.
