    Just got his career set (thanks santa) and found his early performances strange. While he blew out plenty of opposition his dq loss was a disgrace. he had the fight in the bag and cocked his fist, changed his mind them punched a guy very low on the ground. Also why the hell did a small 154 fighter go down to 147 against a guy who clearly had some talent so early in his career. What really struck me was how poor he looked against Steve Little, missing so many shots and getting caught by a fighter he was dominating in Qunicy Taylor. I realise these guys were good opponents especially for a guy with less than 20 opponents. But still he was so much more talented than them he made it so hard on himsef. Also looked like right dick screaming at Little after beating him (I've seen him do it a few times on highlights).

    I don't expect guys 10-15 fights into there career to be amazing like they are at there peak but I was pretty surprised to see such a talented guy struggle with guys with such inferior skills. In what ways does he improve or were these simply a string of poor performances?

    Pretty lucky this didn't cost him against SRL also, although of course he was dominant in that one and the ref probably didn't dare DQ him. Maybe he just went batsh*t when he saw a guy go down and couldn't control himself.
