VERNON PARIS RETURNS TONIGHT??!?!?!?!?! and Nobody TOLD ME??????

[Kball15]

Havent seen him fight in years. He fights on the Shobox undercard.

I remember seeing him and thinking he was a surefire star. And then he got stabbed and was out for a bit. Had some low key comeback fights, and then there was a lot of talk about him going to MMA or something.

So happy he is back. I hope he looks as good as used to.

According to boxrec he was on the Abraham - Dirrell undercard too. Never seen him fight, is he really good?

his natural athleticism is unbelievable. Havent seen him in a looooong time but once he gets that professional polish i think he can achieve great things.

disappointed yet again by by paris. his natural ability is sick and he DOES have some skills that it takes years to develop but damn he looked bad. not becuz of his technique or anything, but becuz he was in such bad condition.
dude pulled a mosley and was sucking wind by the 3rd round.

its a shame becuz not only does he have great hand speed and good power, but he does a lot of old school sht in the ring, with his upper body movement, how he takes steam off punches and how he slips/counters off the ropes.
at times he can look like a young james toney in there, its obvious he's studied tapes of him and jersey joe, but damn his conditioning was poor (kinda like toney).
i understand he took this fight on short notice but he was already scheduled to be on this card. could be one of those gifted fighters, who'll NEVER get it.
