    he was beating up women street vendors for their cigarettes

    as for the olympics he simply wasn't good enough until he started drinking Fortune and Ariza shakes

    I don't think his style of fighting would be very suitable for an amateur scoring system. Just IMO. Probably one reason why he didn't get a shot.

    turning pro early overseas = amateurs, he wasn't good enough for the olympics. PERIOD
