norman and cuevas have rocked each other

 

[patscorpio]

 

[patscorpio]

cuevas rocked now

 

[UpAndComing]

Brian Norman Jr was smart there

Got Cuevas hurt, but didn't bum rush him. Cuevas got heavy hands

 

[Electric Ladyland]

good shot from Norman

they both sloppy though

 

[Electric Ladyland]

neither got a sense of range

 

[patscorpio]

gotdamn that nikka quit

 

[UpAndComing]

Pretty good performance from Brian Norman Jr

Yeah, he officially turned the corner. That win against Santillan wasn't no fluke

 

[UpAndComing]

gotdamn that nikka quit

He told the ref No Mas

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Took the fight out of him

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Seems like Norman does have decent power but dude's head movement is non existent. Hope he actually does fight boots later on this year.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Sounds like RJJ

 

[UpAndComing]

Seems like Norman does have decent power but dude's head movement is non existent. Hope he actually does fight boots later on this year.

I got him beating Boots

Boots has a habit of trading in the pocket recklessly, and I feel Norman will win in most of the exchanges

this Ryan/Mayer backstory

 

[JP_614]

140 is a really tough division on top of that. Can't just be going face first into the pocket trying to throw bombs 24/7, thinking no one is going to catch you

It is this guys just gotta all mix it up. It’s a lot of talent at that division that has been there for the past 2 years. We’ve finally seeing some good matchups. Would love to see Puello and GRJ run it back.
