    One of the oddest styles I've ever seen. Southpaw brawler, hands as low as Hamed used to have them. Strange angles, punches thrown all the way from the floor.

    Are there any fighters from the past few decades who remind you of Vic?

    How about newspaper reports of far older fighters? Anyone else ever have that herky jerky, low hands beyond awkward style?

    To me hes just a strong offensive brawler with poor defense in the same mold as a guy like Ricardo Mayorga. That style works against the smaller guys, but you see what happens when a capable puncher can stand in and throw a straight shot down the line, he gets knocked on his ass.

    While he fights sort of out of a crouch but could do so much better with higher gloves and he really springs out so open to throw that big left hand. You could compare him to anyone that fought out of the crouch back in the day but just worse defense I guess.

    He reminds me a bit of Juan Coggi.
