Yeah, just like Ennis, he needs to be more defensively responsible. He’s more exciting to watch than Shakur, but i don’t know if he’ll ever be as good as Shakur overall.
He showed great killer instinct to attack even when knocked down twice but he won't go far keeping his chin in the air in the pocket and eating clean hooks. He needs to really fix that. I wouldn't right off his chin yet, he was eating big shots from a puncher.
Yep! He developed those bad habits with stagnant matchmaking. I’ve been calling for his level of opposition to increase for a while now but they kept putting him against no hopers. I’m curious to see how they match him going forward.
Eye tests don’t work in boxing. Pump the breaks on these 19-20yr olds. We only get one young phenom every 15-20yrs at that age. Everyone else takes time!!!
Pretty easy fix. Just needs to switch to high guard if he's going to be throwing those uppercuts. Philly shell in really close needs positional defense. High guard is higher percentage defense at that range.

Def not writing him off. What's this, his 5th fight? Think he was overly excited to put on a show. He's also probably lucky La Fiera got injured cause that left hook wasn't missing. Look forward to seeing the kids next fight tho, that's for sure
