Always like watching this young kid fight. I see him with a belt in the future

That is a BULL**** excuse!!! He has NO PROBLEM fighting guys who are 27 years old as long as they have 4-4 and 6-9 records!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's how you develop a fighter. Those who aren't develop properly will start getting losses, when you start throwing them in with just anybody. Those don't become stars they become the opposition for stars. Fighters need to fight close to their level of competition and as they get better you raise that level slowly.

You understand nothing about developing a fighter. You don't go sticking a 19 year old kid in with even C level competition. He is still learning the pro game.

He has been very busy having 14 fights in his first 2 years. Go look at most of your favorite fighters and tell me they did much better. Pac's first 20 bouts where against guys that are similar. Floyd's first 12 in his first 2 years as well. Dawson as well and I can probably fill in the rest of the P4P list.

He is a young fighter with tremendous promise. If done incorrectly you can also cost the kid his career.

nice post, terror tim
