    You seem to follow Amateur boxing based on your sig. You know that winning a US National title doesn't mean much. Look at Estrada.

    In spite of what appears to be fashionable and talking poorly of the CW division it actually does have a good deal of talent. There is alot of talent and they'll all still be there in 3 years.

    Chakhkiev is the future at CW btw. Graziano would leave on a stretcher if they fought.

      Looks like a brutal KO waiting to happen. Great power though.

        One of the reasons Mike used Cus's peek a boo is because Mike was so small compared to his opponents and he could get under there punches and inside much more effectively then someone taller and he could impose himself on them, not give them time to think, I don't think it works well for this guy at all plus he has god awful timing and his footwork doesn't work for the style, you need to be good at cutting opponents movements and have them sharp movements, Graziano was just stalking.

          He didn't look impressive to me, he looked like an impatient wild animal. When he steps up his competition, he will either punch himself out, or they will hit him when he comes in with his wild swings.

          I'd say it is an insult to compare him to Tyson.

            The only thing you can compare him to is his style, and that's it. Mediocre speed, technique is horrible, just look at how he sticks his head up like a dinosaur every time he throws that left hook. Give him some time.

              he puts alot into those early barrages

              when he steps up to fight a tougher opponent who can weather the storm, he will gas out and get sparked out

              he doesnt look like he has much technical skill, he just hits really hard early on. sooner or later he will find someone who can take his punches and he will be in a world of ****

              but great power and explosiveness though

                Defense, power look great. Accuracy, and footwork look horrible. Not to mention he looked gassed by the end of the first fight.

                    how can you be 3 wins with 4 kayos?? having only 3 fights? LOLLLLLL

                      Tyson was a natural puncher, this guy has to commit to throw power shots. As someone said, when he steps up I could see him punching himself out.
