Kid doesn't have the power to keep pressure fighters off of him. He's taken a lot of damage over his last 2 fights.
Agreed. It was a close fight, thought Flores deserved the nod but he seemed almost defensive in the post-fight interview. I don't think he has the pop to make fighters respect him and to set the distance. He's pretty much at his ceiling at this point.
Gabe is a really good boxer but unless he starts sitting on his punches and giving guys something to think about, he's just going to get run out of the ring by good pressure fighters. He's going to need massive stamina to be able to move for 10 to 12 rounds without fading. I like the kid but I don't see him going much further without some pop in his punches.
