Fred Latham was so great that he drew with Alonzo Butler in his previous fight. So this win was about as good as a win over Alonzo Butler. But even so, this was one of Fa's best wins thus far. The events of the fight don't really reflect any positive qualities of Fa, other than he will throw fists rapidly (and somewhat sloppily) if he believes his opponent to be a defenseless bum. Best thing Fa has going is the 82.5" wingspan, which is pretty good. But Fa still hasn't fought any opponents who are any kind of a durable trial horse, so let's see him fight someone like Sherman Williams, Manuel Pucheta, or Nagy Aguilera to gauge how he fares against a non-corpse.

fa isnt ever gonna get past the prospect stage. he was hurt by some 1-1 nobody and only managed an unimpressive md against a 5'7 opponent not long ago. not impressed by him and hell lose when he faces anyone decent.

he has a strange look to him too. the legs are really heavy and akward

First I'd ever seen Fa last night. Not a lot to take from this performance considering he was fighting a guy that didn't come in at peak conditioning, but at least he dispatched of him quickly the way you're supposed to handle a guy like that. I want to see more of him.

Much better performance from him yesterday after his shocking display against Hunter Sam. Good to see him losing weight, probably needs to lose a bit more but he's on the right track.

By the looks of him yesterday, he is taking training a bit more seriously. And he needs to. Still can't make up my mind if he is worth the title of prospect or not. A more decent opponent and it might be clearer. He is the sort of guy who might flourish by fighting 5-6 times a year.
