Defense like 'Pea. (Against this guy, at least.)
Offense very reminiscent of Hagler (if only he had the power.) :


Man, I like watching this kid fight.

He moves a little TOO much, though. Lots of wasted energy there. That could cost him at the elite level.

Strong Pernell Whitaker vibes. I love this style of boxing, it's a beautiful thing.
His sparring with Lomachenko would be something to see.

This fight was a treat for anybody who was able to catch the first fight of the Showtime extreme card before Leo Santa Cruz vs Carl Frampton
I like this kid and outside of Loma, 130 is wide open. I'd like to see him fight Corrales, Vargas, Sosa, Salido or Walters. All those fights make for interesting match ups with their aggression vs his defense.

He's missing that hard Sp jab though. Whittker had that in his backpocket always. We'll see, but I would love if he tightened it up a bit ya know?

I think I remember Steve Farhood saying something like Farmer didn't start boxing until he was 19. He turned pro at 20 and he just turned 26 so this kid was born to be a fighter and is getting better and better with every fight. And despite only having 5 KO's in 22 wins, he has a great arsenal of punches and great technique with enough power to get respect and as he continues to get better I see his power improving. He goes to the body a lot too which is great to see someone so young to the game doing.

I hope this kid doesn't get ducked. Who is his promoter or manager? A fight against Rocky Martinez would be a great showcase for him on HBO or Showtime and show he's ready for a title fight.
