He likes to fight on the outside, using his size and length. He’s fast but doesn’t have a lot of power. It’s hit and not get hit for him.

“Back in May of 2016, I fought and undefeated opponent, Jerren Cochran (11-0-1), and I knew it was an audition for Roy and RJJ. I came out in a full attack mode because I wanted to make a statement.

“मी वेगवान आहे, stronger and have better head movement than him. I’m still young but I have more life experience than him (Ornelas). I’m still young, फक्त 24, but I have more experience than him going into this fight. I’ve fought a former world champion (रिको रामोस). I’m part of a new team and my FHG Gloves teammates are John Vera, who just fought for a world title, आणि Edwin Vasquez. An impressive victory will put me right back in the mix for a big Saturday night fight for an even bigger title.”
