His accuracy and form while throwing so many punches is like nothing I've ever seen. Every punch is thrown correctly, and a huge number of them land. I think you're right about his defense as well, I wouldn't say great but he isn't standing there letting punches through. He slips and catches and takes the steam off a lot of them. And he has a jab? It's ridiculous.

I liked Margarito at his best, but this kid is better. He'll be a damn good fighter for as long as his style allows.

His defense is great for his style. When you come forward as much as he does, and throw as many punches as he does, it's amazing he's not eating a ton more punches.

So when you compare his defense to his style, it's great.

Also, he's better than Margarito, much better IMO. Because Margarito was more aggressive, but he didn't defend like this kid does.

He's going to go far.

One of the most rootable athletes in all of sports. Hope his brother is okay.

Leo looks great so far but the level in comp is still lacking abit.Very likeable too although his accent is pretty hard too hear

That sucks that his friend died last night too and that his brother is fighting for his life. He must have fought with a lot of emotion.
