Given time he will practice and improve
Exactly, kiwi. I thought he was there, even after the Ruiz fight. Sure, he'd go straight back instead of circling, and would stick around too long after his combinations, but I thought he'd just need some tweaking...not now. He's lost power, lunges, poor footwork, not quite as fast, etc. I'm optimistic he can get back to where he was, or even get better so that he can be competitive with AJ or Wilder, but there's a lot of work to be done. If not KB, somebody needs to re-reinvent him.
