he's a an athletic quick southpaw , watched some of his fights . He never beat sakserbaev or yamaguchi (brazilian from mexican team) , california judges beat them . Haymon and golden boy will be moving him over dead bodies , as they usually do . Their marketing strategy is killing boxing as a sport , just keep away real boxers from theirs . Hope everybody remembers how daniel jacobs was first given title shot (they stripped sergio martinez) and then was destroyed by russian nobody Dmitry Pirog on HBO .

Yeah, he's a black guy from Cincinnati. He's pretty good. He is the national golden gloves champion for this year (he beat a guy from our gym in the final). He went to the Olympic team qualifiers but came up short... Only bad thing I can think of is that he did start late. I think he started at 17 and is now about 21-22.
