He said he can't make the weight. He's dead at 156, and can't get down to 154. Top Rank promised to keep him busy. I think we can expect to see him on Top Rank's new TV show on FSNW. The new show starts in February.
He won't accomplish much I believe, his 15 minutes were with Pavlik he got his payday and gave a great effort
Espino will never be a serious threat to the top guys, but I do think he graduated from unknown club fighter to gatekeeper status. That means he can get some decent fights, some decent pay days, and possibly put together an okay career. He'd be a great test for up and coming prospects, and he definitely comes to fight. Boxing NEEDS guys like that.
I agree. And its too bad, he's a great guy and has a great personality. After the bout, they asked him how he felt about his corner throwing in the towel. He said..."How do you THINK I felt?" All loud and angry...after a few seconds he said "Nah, Im kiddin, the stoppage was okay '
