    He’s got the goods. Great footwork and skills. Beat 2 former world champs in emphatic fashion. And he’s only getting better. He’s got a bright future.

    Move aside Ryan Garcia, this is the next young boxing star.

    Too small to capture the imagination of casuals but exceptionally talented nonetheless.

    I do, Super Flyweight has always been a great division and Bam has made it even more exciting. Lemme enjoy the Bam Express dammit. :mad:

    I want to see him against a world class guy who has his legs, but it's also not his fault that it's an old division.

    He speaks English, he’s young, and he’s got a unique fighting style. Also helps that he’s Mexican and that draws the big crowds.

    Michael Carbajal and Chiquita Gonzalez made it possible.

    Now I see why you don't mind getting overexcited after fights. Hyperbolic thread. Let's see him face some great young bucks before talking crazy

    He's too small to be a genuine star. But he will be a huge local draw at the gate. People will watch him on undercards and want to see him again.

    He is likely to be one of the best fighters in boxing though over the next few years. I'd already say he's a top five technician in the sport after Usyk, Loma, Crawford and Shakur.

    Need him to continuously school and stop top opposition for it to be possible, even Inoue isn't a major international superstar right now because of his size. If Bam beats another one of the Four Kings and fights Inoue, the winner of that fight has a chance at becoming a big star.

    He’s got the goods.
    Amazing performance.
    Bright BIG future for such a little dude.
    He will be a hardcore boxing star I don’t think he will touch Tank or King Ryan levels of popularity though.
