I dont see why everyone is going ape**** over him. He beat a shot fighter. I could not help but notice how awful his defense is and how he left himself open so many times. A guy with some power would have knocked his ass out.
I was impressed by him. He actually fights just like his stablemate Sergio Martinez. I'll be paying attention to him. He had a decent test and passed it fairly well. I'm not going ape**** over him nor am I masturbating to still photos of him. I can see how some people would go crazy over him.
:-( Who's going ape****? All the same people saying they were impressed also threw in the caveat "...but still has flaws that need to be addressed". This was his first step up. Calm the **** down.
Threads like this and the responses to it are why no one respects most of the posters in the ESB general forum anymore. Cayo was damn impressive. One of the most fluid and entertaining fighters I have seen since the prime Floyd Mayweather. I would love to see him fight again and I predict he will be a multi-belt holder soon. The man was awesome.
How was he "awesome"? He wasn't hitting with the knuckle, he was fighting with his hands down, he wasn't dominating the fight. I saw nothing GREAT.
Don't worry about the n00b. The kids devoid of any realizm whatsoever. Cayo looked very good beating a former 2 time champion. To be unimpressed you have to be someone who doesnt understand boxing, or maybe a vision problem, or maybe your just a ****ing mongoloid idiot. So pick one
He did very well in beating an experienced fighter and even if he was a little past it, he still did good. However, if he doesn't sharpen his defense he won't go very far. All in all a solid showing. He has an exciting style and will look forward to seeing him again.
