This my friends is how you promote!! Good press release with multiple quotes from reputed professional. Hell I want to see the kid fight, I've seen him in his last fight tho - pretty good, couldn't gage him because he blew his opponent out the water in like the first or 2nd round.

So do we (fans of American fighters)

I still think 18 is way too young to be a pro boxer. Your brain and body are still developing so give it some rest and time to develop. Eat, sleep well, work out and don't live in stress for the next few years and then maybe fight when you're in your 20s. Supposedly the brain stops developing sometime in your 20s so at 18 it's way too young to receive punishment to the head.

The kid looked sensational so far.

Passed with flying colors on the eye test. Let's see how he develops. Tall, lanky, fast, good power, this new generation looks very promising.

I didn't know Mike had a fight card here in Miami for next week, of course he finally puts on a fight down here when I will be in Jacksonville and won't be able to go. *Sigh*

It's nice he's keeping him really active

[La_Vibora]

BTW, he reminds me of what I fought like when I was in my prime, just alot less talented!

[wiz1030]

been loosely following him since he made the decision to go pro and Tyson scooped him up. It would be great to see Tyson build him into a star
