He had chin, he doesn't quit, he has speed, but its all crap when he doesn't let his hands go! HE just stands there and don't even puts his combinations when Mikey Garcia was right in front of him!
He needs to make a major change in his life style. I think that is part of his problem. He akso needs to hire a sports psychologist to work on his reactions in the ring. He's has developed bad thought patterns in the ring and he can't shake them.
I believe AB's issues are of the mind. He can't go from defense to offense well. His mind is very slow in the ring. When faced with a fighter with higher IQ he has no plan B. I don't think Mikey's power bothered him. I think the precision and overall game plan was too much for him. He resorted to trying to land the big punch.
Even though he does not take care of his body he has surprisingly good stamina. He dropped Porter in the twelfth after getting dogged the whole fight.
No Growth Stylistically! Meaning that he never found his own niche and never cultivated his own style. He is a very poor version of a Old Brittle Hands Pot Shotting Mayweather but he doesn't have the work ethic, reflexes or IQ of a Mayweather so if he can't overwhelm you with Natural abilities he doesn't know how to find other ways to win
