    Used to post here. Sadly, his career ran out of steam, I don't know why.

    He went through a four fight losing streak early in his career and discovered that energy drinks were draining his adrinel (sp?) glands. Once he kicked the Red Bull he rebounded with a kayo spree, beating some legit guys like Kelvin Davis, Dale Brown, and Daniel Judah.

    But when he lost to Flores in an IBF eliminator he seemed to lose his ambition. Aside from the first JC Gomez fight he's lost every significant fight since.

    And who can forget the way he deboned Nwodo with that murderous shot?!

    Didn't he fall out of favor with ESPN when he had a *** tape show up on the internet around the time of the Flores fight? I seem to remember reading about that in the Ring.

    Is that true?

    Seems a pretty weak reason to blackball somebody.
