Happy for Ofori though, seen him a handful of times, and he always game

Happy for Ofori.
Seems to be really nice guy.

I can see Catterall's influence on Vuong's style, even his appearance.

Vuong may have the best jab and feet on the entire card. He's the only guy that I've seen consistently double-jabbing, triple-jabbing on the move, etc.

Intrigued to see this Vuong kid. They were really hyping him up at the start of the broadcast and also said 50-60 fighters turned down the fight.

If that's even remotely close to true, I think Vuong is showing why. He has certain qualities that are expected in world-caliber fighters, but this is only his 2nd pro fight. That bodes well for his future.

Hearn was the one who said it, so I take it with a grain of salt, but he definitely looked good once he settled in & boxed. I’ll be following his progression

Versatile jab, fleet-footed, comfortable with punching on the move and from different angles. It really felt like I was watching Catterall, down to the trunks and haircut lol

Only difference is that Catterall is southpaw.

Over time, we'll see if Vuong can take a punch, and how he reacts to pressure. Those two factors will be key in how far he makes it up the ladder.

Seen Shabaz last 3 fights & became a fan, he lacks big power, but he’s a very sharp boxer.

Let’s go

It was even more obvious because Catterall is in attendance. You can tell they train together. Honestly, Gato is not a bad fighter to learn from.

Things are gonna get very interesting in the second half.
