It's a great story no doubt and I'm a fan. I wish him the best. Hopefully he will get more hype and become a star.
Florence Griffith Joyner worked two jobs, trained at 2AM and set a record in track that is still unbreakable 30 years later. It wasn't that long ago that most athletes had day jobs. You can only train so much before you are just at your genetic potential and more training will just be over reaching/over training and a negative. Hell, I bet the reason the NFL has so many injuries is because guys go to practice, come home and then play video games on their ass for 8 hours or go party because how else are you going to fill your time.
I read somewhere salido was a roofer and laying concrete most of his career, right now he drives for Uber until that 2nd lomachenko fight takes place.
