Raw talent and gaining experience one fight at a time

At first he seemed like just another big mouth kid but I'm starting to feel a tiny bit unfortunate for him as he's now even lost his name on the title and just an accessory to Mayweather's name.

Most upstarts fight 4x a year.
4rds, yes ?

4, 4, 8, 6, 6 so I'd guess 6 next.

Not that it remotely matters as he's currently understandingly still in the rack up KO against tomato cans phase of his career. For his 4 and 6 rnd matches it was 1st and 2nd KO, with the 8 rounder being the only one with somewhat of a pulse which also went the distance.

To be expected.
Can't hate on a tried and true upstart blueprint.

Very rarely do HOFers not get fed cans in the beginning (not saying the kid is one) .

Gotta build them up and brand them.

After the feasting phase is over, 2 maybe 3x a year will be the norm.

The question nowadays is WHEN does that feasting phase end? It seems like some guys are coddled until they are closer to 30 than 20.

At age 18 he's got a good years to feed, but I'm not looking forward to seeing the 30-0 (26 KO) "greatest prospect since XXX" age 28 still no title Curmel Moton or anything...

It can go either way
Can be a coddled soyboy or legit

Time will tell

Fourth time this year - AWESOME. I love the active nature and wish we saw more of it.
Sure, he is not fighting world champs yet and there are the hate guys that will say bad things about his opponents and all of that, but he is still a kid.

I'd rather see kids get thrown against their limit and be forced to learn through challenges and losses, but I guess the holy zero religion doesn't allow that in America.

Given the coddling, I guess it will be acceptable if he's a legit beltholder come age 21, a bit late but not the worst if a beltholder before his 24th birthday, and a joke if still a "contender" come age 27.
