I mean.. he just cut out the bullshit. And went straight in.

For him he was barely tough. He was at that level.

im sure he was supposed to fight salido in his first fight as well if memory serves me right

He wanted to fight for a world title yes. But orgs didn’t allow it,. So he just had one WBO regional title fight, got himself in the rankings.

Thai boxe phenoms Muangsurin (world hampion on the 3rd pro bout, tied with Loma) and Payakaroon had their debuts against seasoned gatekeepers before jumping straight to title contention.

How could I not mention the masterful Titere Vazsquez having his debut against a teenager Canelo and giving him a competitive bout?

They became good friends despite being cultural opposites. Hunsaker has a fornicating bridge named after him.

Name ONE other fighter with a bridge named after them.
