    That's not a guy you'd figure with a Star of David. What's his backstory, M?

    Montanez is a fighter I've been getting into over the last few months - turns out he was more than just one of Armstrong's best wins. He actually had a very good record himself as you probably know, and little is known of him by most. He could be a top twenty lightweight.

    All I know of his background is that he was a Jewish Puerto Rican which must be unusual.

    Anything's possible, M. I'd sooner imagine a Jewish Eskimo.
