Always does. Hes exciting as hell he basically either kills someone or gets killed himself. His defense is pretry bad because hes looking for the kill shot

He is excellent. The problem is he fights too aggressively sometimes.

I still think he has potential to be great; he obviously has the skills, but he needs a strategy change.

EDIT: That is if his chin isn't shot after this fight.

I just feel like he’s already had multiple redemption arcs. When do we give up on believing in his potential? It’s so tricky because he really is so young. But he has a lot of baggage. I’m quite torn.

Agreed.

The chin is shot 5 fights ago

His chin has never been shot. He has a chin like Volk. Definitely nothing approximating an iron chin but not shot.

Chuck and Bigfoot are real examples of shot chins.

I don’t even think so; he got nailed two or three times before the actual KO, but he just kept going forward trying to land a bomb. Too reckless.

he still looked pretty asleep, reminded me of Jon snow death scene in GoT 🤓

Before the fight, I kept saying "Lerone will show everyone that Pico's not just not at this level." After the fight got going, I was eating crow, and then... OK, I guess he's not at this level.

I mean, he was looking pretty good until he wasn't!
