    Six foot five southpaw heavyweight Al Jones lost his debut over 4... his only other two losses can be attributed to chronic hand problems.

    Rolando Navarrete didn't fight anyone great in his debut... but what blows my mind is that he was 107 pounds! And would fight below the 108 limit for his first four bouts.

    Francis Ngannou when you take into consideration that he lost via split decision against Tyson Fury in a fight many say he should have won.

    The odds were stupidly wide for that fight... Ngannu to score a knockdown was +350! He was like +700 or +800 to win.

    Looking just from that win,it reflects Duràn's skills a ton already.
    I wonder,what happens if Eleta(his manager) didn't hold him back from fighting Carlos Ortiz.
