Ha! No. Giacomino in Italy is common for “Little Jimmy” and I had a 6’3’ inch cousin. I am 5 ‘10 on my tallest days and was, thus, “little” or “ino”

*: NB: Nueva Weirdly-Herky-Jerky Inc LLc accepts no responsibility should your boy actually be fuckin' clueless enough to follow Manuel around all night eating flounced jabs & zero-leverage right crosses. An inability to cut off the ring will be sorely exposed by liberal applications of Manuel Medina-ness. Even if your boy is fuckin' clueless enough to lose to him, we guarantee you a rematch within twelve days, or before Manuel's cuts have healed properly, whichever is sooner. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Dariusz Michalczewski must have been. Never looked that amazing, but lots of good fighters used to wear out in 8 or so rounds against him.

dariusz was a strong and fit all rounder, so ya, never really shined in any particular department, but as a total package very effective
