The guy he fought was Andre Hemphill (8-12-2)...KO1...
he's also fought twice more since then with this gem in his 9th pro fight, coming out to the Grinch music:
Sure he's not fighting studs, necessarily, but he is doing what he's supposed to do to these types of guys, and hopefully gaining some experience, as I think he's only been boxing for about 3 years or so and only 22 years old.
Wonder what denomination the bill was that Brown gave the referee?
Old Cat is referring to Graziano's trainer John Brown, who I think has instructional videos available at either Ringside or Title, or is somehow connected with one of those 2 companies.
What exactly are you suggesting though pal?
No suggestion simply an observation( your guy beat the ever living crap out of the other guy, no interference was necessary).
I suspect the Refs pay is minimal in small shows. So when I saw him slide the Ref a bill or two I thought that it was considerate.
Although, he might have chosen a better point in the night to be giving. I am not sure that handing the ref anything after a fight is a good idea, as an accusation could be leveled.
He's ranked 2nd after olympian deontay wilder in the 201 lb after the first quarter, with wilder obviously locking in that spot before the year started. 21 years old and started boxing in 2006, and doesn't have much national tournament experience, but he's knocking motherfuckers out hard, which is not the norm for four 2-minute round fights with headgear and well-padded gloves. He stopped current national golden gloves champ craig lewis in the u.s. future stars championships. Just thought you fellas might want to see some good ko'z.
