Last weekend was the fight time I saw the guy fight. He was a bull, physically very strong, and he seems to have good power. He seemed to have problems finishing his man, though, and he appears to be strickly a head-hunter. Technically, he would benefit from putting his punches together better, and that should help him finish his opponents. Defensively, he is wide open. He's got a good chin, though. If he gets a better trainer to would on his weeknesses, he may be able to become a champion. Not a multiple one, though. Thoughts?
The only flaw ive seen was he has the habit of resting for a while in the middle rounds standing, waiting or not moving instead of finishing his opponent right away once he has the momentum.
I saw him a couple of years ago (took a pic with him on old phone) and compared to his latest performances, I'd say he's had his better days gone. He seems to be on auto pilot lately. Not hungry. Struggles in the later rounds. It could be that he is facing better competition, but that also tells me he will not be a force in the future.
His latest fight Ty Barnett is a bum coming off a win from someone who lost 42 times. He hasnt really fought anyone good yet, i don't see him replacing donaire in the future.
Looks like a shot Manny Pacquiao can only fight all in spurts.Which is not bad. But his conditioning stinks.Needs those Ariza shakes for sure.He didn't even make 135.
