    I've never watched that much of him as I tend to dislike disjointed and non-fluid styles like his but I thought Id give him more of a chance. Big props for the guy on youtube who has 36 of his 37 fights. What is noticable, early in his career, is how he never neglects the body. In his first 8 fights he stopped 3 opponents of a single body shot. Very impressive and pretty rare.

    The quality of opposition no doubt played its part in facilitating this accessibility.

    HE was a more complete boxer in his earlier career, he did goto the body more, he was quicker, more feinting, much more movement and better reflexes. He was much harder to hit and it wasn't just the opposition, contender level fighters couldn't lay a glove on him

    Physically he may have been better suited to bantam/super bantam, he looked slower as he moved up
