    I would slow him down if anything. I'm looking into his potential. He started at the top. Go back and fight a few contenders. I personally am not interested to see him in the hardest fight possible. Go make some money first and preserve those otherworldly skills and killer instinct for a while.

    Take some fun, stay busy fights.
    I agree with that.

    only 22.

      I've known how special this boy was since I first saw him. I told this board so on a few occasions. Now I wanna see him fight some 2nd or 3rd tier opponents for a coupla fights.

        22 years old and already has two of the old guard big names under his belt (Cuadras and Rungvasai). As far as Mexican Americans go....looks like this generation the Tex Mexs are producing better talent than the California Chicanos. California does not have anyone like Bam or Vergil in terms of talent unless I am forgetting.

          Maybe a 2nd tier opponent and then a big name.....and repeat that cycle. A 3rd tier does nothing for him besides give him a solid paycheck.

          We got to remember these little weights tend to have a shorter shelf life and hardly ever make the big pay days. Might as well be a legacy fighter, he has Robert Garcia on his side so he will probably make decent money anyway....plus Texas has no income tax from what i know.

            Good eye and analysis.

              He's like a Lomachenko (who he's a big fan of) with a Mexican-style body attack.

              I was extremely impressed with him tonight.

                This Bam kid is impressive. I like his little step-to-the-side move and then drill the opponent while the opponent is out of position. Looks exactly like what Lomachenko does. Before tonight this kid was barely on my radar.

                  As long as he doesnt take a beating in a loss at 22 hell be fine with a loss if it happens against Choc or Estrada. Those two guys are not killers. The only big puncher there he just starched easy. This is not potentially Vargas getting a beating from Trinidad type of situation.

                    I'm good with second tier. He can sharpen those skills more.
