They showboat a lot and try to look pretty, and I'm not into that.
      Guzman was great against Barrios, he came in there to do serious damage and tried to take him out in the 12th round (He hurt Barrios many times). Against Soto, Guzman landed a mean left hook in the 8th (Can't remember) it snapped Soto's head back but Soto wasn't hurt at all, in the 2nd round, Guzman tested his power against Soto and there, I believe it was when he saw that he couldn't hurt Soto and decided to box.

            Yeah, I actually saw his fight with Barrios, and I was more impressed about his offense in that one. I just think the fight with Soto would have been more exciting if he didn't decide to totally coast. But yeah, you've gotta give credit to Soto's chin for that. Another bad thing about Guzman is he's so unreliable. He pulls out of fights at the last minute and he destroyed practically all of his credibility by failing to make weight against Campell. I know Campell went on to fail himself but at least it's known that he really couldn't make the weight. Guzman on the other hand is still fighting as a lightweight. What's up with that?

              Yeah, I'm gonna be off the bandwagon if I don't hear anything soon. He declined to fight Zab Judah at a catch weight of 143, then Juan Diaz declined him to face either Paulie or some other dude, can't remember his name. Fact is, Guzman should have taken the Zab fight, he needs to understand that he is in no position to face the Bradley for his title at 140.

                true story

                Mak, Freitas in his prime was a very exciting fighter. He always went to war.
                He'd get off the deck to beat the hell out of guys.

                I think late in his career, he lost that hunger, because he had money and had moved up to much.

                But early on he was a terror and really fun to see live.

                    ^^^ This.

                    It's too early to gauge him properly, but he looks very promising.
