    That's what I thought, I missed this fight unfortunately but from the gifs atleast his hands were up, do we wanna have a pop at JMM aswell, he's 40 n had a stationary upper body.

      Glad I am not the only one who wasn't overly impressed with him.

      Defense consists of an earmuff guard with a three way twist, he did the same thing all night.

      No real snap on his shots, hes not a crisp puncher in my eyes.

      People go on he won medals and a Val Barker trophy all day long but I am not seeing what I'd expect really from a guy with such experience and amateur credentials.

      His defense and flawed punching technique is similar to Amir Khans.

      Hes a very good prospect but hes far from the finished article and people need to drop this Rigondeaux superfight talk because Rigo would eat him alive. Let him mature and come into his own. The worst thing you can do is push him to fast.

        He dropped the guy twice with bodyshots and stopped him, and that guy had never been ko'd before.

          what about 5 punch combo, where he landed 4 and almsot got him with 5? - super accuracy?

          TS needs to chill out. this is his first fight, once he loses then ***** about it.

          and of course its too early for him to fight RIgo - he HIMSELF said that you guys pull him ahead of him.

              only his first Pro Fight though I think he will get better with every fight

              Can't leave that body open like that against Rigondeaux though who is a VICIOUS body puncher and can strike with those body punches quickly

              I don't even know why Arum is already talking about matching him up with Rigondeaux that is ******...I think he will destroy Salido though!

                He had some flaws but they will be fixed in due time. He is at championship level RIGHT NOW though. He will show it in his next bout.

                    You guys watched Rigo's early fights, right?

                    He was fighting much lesser fighters and in general looked worse. He made easy fights look dull, at least this kid comes to fight. I'm not saying he's ready for Rigo (who only really impressed me vs Nonito) but he's definitely a great boxer who will be a champion before long.

                    Also can't believe someone said he doesn't have snap on his punches, ridiculous.

                      He has no choice now. If he doesn't show champ mettle right next, he's gonna get set back painfully by Salido
