Junior Fa

[diehard]

Markk, perfect fight for Jr. He had to make sure his health was good, and couldn't take a chance on a tough fighter. Couple that with his knuckle injury, and it was the right opponent. I also noticed that Jr.'s range wasn't ideal, as he was in too close while punching. But I don't blame Jr. His opponent was there to be hit in close during the clinches, and Jr accommodated him. To me, it showed that he doesn't need ideal range to hurt an opponent. AND, Jr needed to acquit himself to the boxing public after going the distance against the Mexican.

So, do I think Jr. has the goods to compete for a belt? Not yet. But he passed the health test, and should be ready for a top 10 opponent to test his mettle.

KB is KB. Not sure he wanted Fa to share the spotlight with Parker.
