After an amateur career of over 120 votes, which included a 2014 USA, junior national championship title and a runner-up finish in the 2018 National Golden Gloves Sullivan fought once more in October of that year, but hasn’t he hadn’t fought again since then, but yes, amateur uh.

So definitely you can see it in the way.
This kid fights that man, his defense is definitely tight.
Um, you know, Brunel was one of his generation of all time.
So I know that’s one of the main things that has helped himself, because offense is always the the fun thing that people want to work on.
You know throwing somebody else, but avoiding those things, that’s the hard part about boxing.
