He is 2-1 doing so with kayo wins over Santander Silgado (KO 4 in Dec. 2012) and Pawel Kolodziej (KO 2 in Sep. 2014) and with a memorable loss to Panamanian Guillermo Jones (TKO 11 in May 2013), which hasn’t been ruled over (unlike it consequences) despite a fact Jones was caught using illegal substances.
