    Just an average guy with an average body who started boxing late and gave it his all. Not a bad effort at a career on his part.

    Minto actually crossed my mind recently while talking about Axel Schulz. Schulz chose Minto as his comeback opponent after being out of the ring for 7 years, and Minto stopped him in the 6th, ending Schulz' career.

    I think it was Minto's come from behind KO of Vinny Maddalone in their first fight that put him on the map for most. A highlight reel left hook from Minto pulled that fight out for him when he was hopelessly behind on the cards.

    Was pulling for Minto when he got a shot at Marco Huck's Cruiserweight belt, but that didn't go well for him, and he kind of just faded away after that.

    Fun fighter to watch, and good call-out with this thread.

    The first Madelone fight was the first time I ever saw Minto. I remember it being a good one

    Minto vs Kallie Knoetze for the every dude world championship! Minto was a lot more refined, but the crude Kallie had a right hand of doom.
