    The irony is that he showed a lot of grit during his last fight.

    Bruno was out-jabbing Lennox and AJ was a world class amateur and far better technically than he’s given credit for. Both men are skilled enough to be world class, though AJ more so.

    Depends on what you understand by the term "dog in him".

    Wlad panicked when a puncher breached their punching range and generally avoided shoot outs.

    He could fight dirty and didn't have any quit in him, though.

    Both a bit stiff, but good fundementals and AJ put his shots together as well as I've seen anyone his size do.
