is that a nice-looking win on an early record often means nothing at all.
Of course there are times when you'll see a fighter with a built up record from Arkansas sent to NY or Cali to be sacrificed at the altar against a former amateur star.
Very rarely if ever will you see a matchmaker match his fighter with an unbeaten guy with an undefeated record unless he has seen video tapes on him. But, if that fighter loses once to a no-name fighter, the line to fight him is around the door.
Why? Because a one-loss fighter still looks good on a record.
Case in point, Delvin Placencia from here in NJ.
He built his record to 15-0 before losing to 25-25 Jesus Salvador Perez.
His next three opponents consisted of two unbeaten prospects (Carney Bowman and Victor Valenzuela) and a former world title challenger on the way back up (Edner Cherry).
