"He’s still young and a bit immature," Mendy said. "He has a couple of flaws that we’re working to correct. He’s been down a couple of times in his career [in sparring], and one of the concerns is the possibility that he may have a weak chin. But we’re patient. We want to see him develop. We’re not in this to make a quick buck."
He added: "His opponents have been carefully picked. If King puts him with the wrong fighter, there goes all the time and money we invested in him. It’s important to get the record and the 19th win and then to put that behind us and move on.
Thats his promoter saying that.DAMN It looks as if he's already having the woes of boxing and he hasnt even fought anyone yet.Hope it doesnt affect him in the ring.The silliest thing in there was him having 2 promoters and 2 managers.How you can **** something like that up.I have no clue.

They basically just said that they built him from scratch because they are trying to set a new 1st round knockout record. Now Tyrone thinks he is something big and his promoter and manager are like, "Woah now Tyrone, don't go and do something ****** like fight somebody we haven't hand picked for you to fight" "You might lose, and mess up all of our hard work."

Boxing's politics is dirty, but it cannot be faulted in this case. Brunson made immature and irresponsible moves and politics has got nothing to do with what he's going through now.
But, with that said, hope everything will turn out fine for him and that some time in the future he'll find someone who'll protect him from himself. And that's whether or not his career advances...
