he wont be a world beater but to say hes trash is ****** bro....

I agree here, dude looked like he had talent but his good balance in the beginning faded as the fight went on and he could have gotten tagged several times by a better opponent.

"cause you say so? "

lmao

maybe he isn't trash. the guy he fought was trash, but i wasn't impressed by him either.

Yeah Gamboa, Solis, Lara and Rigondeaux are world class.

This dude...

not so much........

I remember a ESPN card during the fall I think. It had Johnson, Rigondeaux, and Lara and during the commentary they were talkinga bout Johnson being the last talented of his Cuban compatriots, but now they're buidling him up to be extremely talented. It's all funny stuff.

who was talking him up? the other boxers?

[SUPREME.]

This is a sloppy fight so far.
But the Solomon fight was entertaining I see this guy doing big things if he sharpens up his skills a little.

Theyre always trying to promote these Cuban fighters, but half the ones we see are guys already near 30 with no professional experience, and most get away with what they do with their speed and potshotting rather than skill.

Gamboa and Lara are exceptions, but guys like this one and Gullermo Rigondeux really dont show me anything exceptional.

The commentators of course.
