    How do you think he will do?

    The guy is done, has no power naturally and is a KO waiting to happen. He has alot of heart and decent boxing skills but that only gets you so far, especially above your weight class.

    Not surprised to see the good old excuse of having a hard time to make weight!

    When you lose 3 times in a row, there probably isn't much choice.
    Either you go with it and become a gatekeeper, or you move up and hope for the best.

    Of course there's always retirement, but not many pro boxers choose that option.

    After his last hand full of fights I would say moving up and facing harder punchers probably isn't going to go well for him
