He was in the you know, living in dominican, he’s from los mina cento domingo is, where he’s from small little place, uh used to play baseball uh, but had a little trouble, differentiating uh boxing for baseball uh, considering to fight all the kids playing baseball.
So the coaches told them hey.
Why don’t you give up this baseball thing and go be a boxer, so he did and he’s turned out to be this great amazing, wonderful guy that gets in this ring and just smashes people he’s 11-0-1-1 with 10 knockouts.
The best part about this is this: kid is fighting may 22nd, so we get to see him again, so the wait is really over.
Um honestly he’s the hottest prospect in 2020, like i told you, he was going 5-0 with five kills, including four headline making stoppages.
So not only is he knocking these guys out, he’s knocking them out in such a beautiful showcase fashion, and you know what every time he does it and every time you see it.
If you see this kid doing the strumming guitar at the end of a match, you just missed a vicious ko, that’s going to be on a highlight reel, and then you think about it like when you think of these.
These boxers, from you know down in those regions you never think of them.
