    Yes, after fighting for an entire 1.5 years. The fact that he even made the olympics (And took a bronze no less) with such little experience is fairly amazing. Of course, he skills weren't perfect, and he made a mistake. - Now all the idiots here say he has a glass chin.

    Sad, truly sad.

    you cannot deny that the guy has some talent going for him. He seems relaxed in the ring, decent movement. BUT looking at Boxrec his weight fluctuates heavily (pun intended), meaning he has no discipline or dedication. If the everyday guy would take his job as seriously as him, he would collect food stamps in no time.

    I will eat my socks if he ever gets past journeyman level

    McDonald's promotes him, Burger King trains him. Ok, enough jokes. I saw the video. This kid has fast hands, moves well for his size, and can fight.


    However, one can get away being 5'10" and fat in the juniors under 17 division. When you face men its a different story.

    If he's only 18, he's got some growing to do
    Let's give him a chance to develop.

    He's 21...

    But he already has some 'big names' on his record though. He beat Lennox (TKO1), Cunningham (UD4) and Johnson (TKO1) :D
