    Impresive record, defeated Ndou, Baloyi and Nate Campbell, lost to Kendall Holt.

    Any information on this fighter? He will fight my man Rafał Jackiewicz from Poland in the IBF welterweight eliminator.:bbb

    Holt beat his ass, but after that loss he moved up in weight and has yet to lose again. Good fighter, but I don't really see him making any noise at 147. Too deep of a division.

    Pretty a stock standard fighter at every weight he has fought at, though he appears to have slightly diminished as he went up in weight...physically strong(filled out well to 140 and 147), good fundamentals with a good chin, slightly better puncher than his record suggests though far from a puncher, good work ethic..World class at lightweight, yet to really see that kind of impact at 140-147.
    Holt did whoop him...So did Rodriguez for the first 2/3 of their fight by the sounds it. Fast handed movers expose his lack of versatility but he doesnt get easily discouraged.
    IMO Campbell had him under wraps with body punching in their fight but did what Nate has done almost rountinely throughout his career..back up an excellent performance with a poor one...Against Isaac it was a poor one.
