    I was also at the HSBC center the day he fought DaVarryl Williamson. I took the drive up from Central upstate NY to check him out. He looked slow, but he had deceptive speed, good timing, accuracy, and very heavy hands. He could definitely punch. After the fight with Jirov when he had the brain bleed, I thought that was it for him. I didn't realize he came back fought about 7 more fights after that. He was a tough, determined fighter

      Feel bad for the cards dealt to Joe. There’s no doubt the kid was going to be a world champion.
