I watched the fight this passed week and nothing about his performance changed my mind about his place in boxing. I was looking at the fight much dissatisfied with the pace and overall unity in his corner. Between Freddie Roach, Ariza and his father JCC Sr I am surprised the kid can get any instructions at all. His father stands there expressionless swinging his arms and shadow boxing with his son in the dressing room and then leads him down the isle like some kind of dictator. It has to be hard for this kid being in this situation. I was thinking all of this without knowledge of his DWI prior to the fight and or his weight issues.
Post fight my mind set has changed dramatically overall. Seeing how he handled the media, his corner and Rubio and still manged to win the bout and then admit if he fought the way he did tonight against Martinez he would have lost really opened my ears. Here is a young kid pretty much on the top of the world admitting that he needs more training and that he is human and makes mistakes. I take my hat off too him for that. Overall he has improved some and I like his heart and the fact he does not abandon his game plan no matter what......LEFTY
