WHAT??? man, jr. showed a tremendous chin and huge heart against a guy who could easily be a p4p elite featherweight. of course it was ridiculously foolhardy to step up and face a guy like Loma with the list of bums (and only bums) on jr.'s resume. plain stupid. if anything, GRJ's lack of power was exposed, and with those hand problems it looks like his ceiling will be a slightly faster, more athletic Malignaggi... but (like young Paulie) he's got the heart and chin of a champion.
