Is Jayson Velez being thrown to the lions?

It just means he has bigger guts/balls than the majority of prospect boxers. Most people are scared to take risks while they're being groomed. That's one thing I have to give to some PR prospects lately, they're willing to go to the lions den unlike other prospects from other places...including some from Mexico.

Look at guys like Chavez Jr. Financially its almost better to go the B1tch route....and even the flag toters give him respect.

Originally posted by mathed View PostThose dudes had a lot of hype behind them, Velez has had to earn his respect one fight at a time, he has a different mindset. He can't count on the benefit of a favorable decision when the going gets tough like the others, he has to rely on 100% skill. In addition, PDL has lost to every undefeated prospect he has faced since 2008 as well.

I have no doubt he outboxes the likes of Rios, Mathysse, Garcia and knocks out Amir Khan at 140.

I personally think its too early for this kid to take such a massive step up class. He should fight some better opposition and get some experience before going up against Ponce but props to him for being game who knows it might pay off though I think he gets ko'd

People can say they don't let stuff go to their heads but if you are constantly being told how good you are and how no one can touch you, there comes a point where you start to believe it.
When the reality hits that you have been carefully guided throughout your career to reach a certain point and the guy across the ring from you has had to sweat, bleed, and fight for every single thing he has accomplished in his career, you are like a deer caught in headlights....no where to run, no where to hide
