    Well Dokes was sure spotty===even at his best. Watch the Ocassio bouts. Or like mentioned above, both of the Cobb bouts. Actually Dokes was real fortunate the 2nd bout was stopped--he was well on his way to losing that one. He looked as tired as he did in the 14th round of the Weaver rematch. with 6 more rounds to go. The Young fight was not a sterling moment either.

    But very few A+ performances. Maybe the Ocassio rematch. But who really bought into that guy anyway? Maybe the Gardner fight. Once again, who was buying into that guy back then? Then you had the quick stoppage in a DKP bout in the first Weaver bout.

    Just way too many B efforts and showing up with his B game. He can hang tough for awhile, but that is a lot different than getting your hand raised.

    Ossie Ocasio (the gif in my avatar was taken right before Holmes knocked him down with a jab) lol.

    Yeah, beating Ocasio was a big deal YAWN.

    No offense meant.

    Your respect is wasted even if you agree with him. The guy (predictably banned yet again) is a pig ignorant moron.
