    What 6 rounds did DLH win? He did nothing for much of the fight, even less than Ike did. People seem to remember the 12th round and think DLH deserved the decision, and that it was some kind of exciting fight. Most of it was slow and Quartey won at least 7 rounds.

    Quartey ranks a "very good" fighter. I agree with him being not as good as Marlon Starling.

    GREAT jab, good power, solid skills. I also agree that he had a tendency to leave his chin exposed when jabbing.

    Got to the top of the mountain, or within reach of it, and seemed to lapse into inactivity.

    Maybe there were some injury issues I have forgotten, but it seemed like he got to a point that he only wanted to fight (or maybe his management and promoter didn't have it together) for huge money so he let his prime go by with one or two fights a year.
