    Never seen him fight and not heard much about him to be honest but I am looking forward to seeing how well he can perform. Hopefully he turns into a very good fighter.

    Where is he in his career right now?

    he is 8-0-1

    supposedly not a great trainer and he has some very good skills and power

    he has the talent but the dedication has to be questioned

    he knocked andy lee out in the amateurs as far as i know

    yeah that was a year and a half ago when he was weighing in the region of 195 to 200 pouds

    he was down to his lowest weight of 177 in his last fight and looked very sharp and very strong

    he beat jamie power convingly who was 6-0 at the time

    I don't like the fact he has a draw already at this point, it's like having a loss.

    :lol:

    Although my logic is complete rubbish, just look at JMM and BHop.



    Do you know if Cruz-Castillo is going to be shown in the US?

    I dont no if they are showing it on US tv

    he probably should have won that fight anyway , one judge scored it for him and the other two scored it a draw

    seems to have good power and is a natural 'fighter' so to speak but his long periods of inactivity, weight swings and pulling out of fights points to a lack of dedication. to be fair i think he had some family problems which has held u his career but he'd need to knuckle down now cos he aint getting any younger.

    That there will be the problem. He never looks in good shape to me and I am always thinking "he could easily drop down a weight"
