    It is too soon to write him off, he was sparked at 19-20 years old against Jololov who currently has a 100% knockout percentage and won the gold in the 2020 Olympics in a more competitive rematch against Torrez.

        Why do you guys bring up amateur fights? Do you know how many top pros were sparked or beat up in the AMs?

        He's never been sparked in the pros and the guy who stopped him Torrez faced him again lost a competitive decision but had him hurt and going in the rematch In the gold medal bout.

                Torrez is a good , humble , down to earth guy. Wish him the best.
                I'm just not convinced his size can hold up against the giants in the HW division.
