Finally Mike Wilson turns pro. Probably the third best heavy prospect of the Americans behind Tor Hamer and Wilder. He missed the Olympics by being upset by Koimdo Bethel twice, Bethel recently turned pro , too, but is overall a little behind him.
Wilson beat a fighter who was formerly from my town Jonte Willis but lost whatever title it was he fought for by doing an illegal substance. That doesn't bode well doing an illegal substance in the amateurs.
He had smoked pot. Therefore his third title was anulled and Willis declared winner. Willis is a pro too, but a light puncher and not that interesting.
Smoking pot isn't a big deal really, it certainly doesn't enhance anything. Are there any fights I can see of Willis online? I know he's undefeated so far in the pros but he hasn't been on FNF, and I see he beat the same guy twice already.
Mike was a damn good amateur; I know he was battling a hand injury before he turned pro; so I wish him all the best as a pro.
:good I didn't know who he was at the time, but I watched Tor Hamer spar Eddie Chambers at my gym. Hamer is one of the biggest sonofabitches i've seen. He gave Eddie some great work and at times was really putting it on him. I was very impressed with Hamer's stamina. He never seemed to get tired. Really good at bodywork too, with a great hook.
