Official highlights
Marcus has all the athletic qualities and skill. Seems to lack the killer instinct, aggressiveness and will to grit down and exchange when needed. He lacks any semblance of an uppercut, and his will heart courage and chin are all a big question at this stage. He was gonna fight kovalev, i wonder how that would have went after eleider’s performance. Sure castillo is dangerous but he has losses and marcus should have been able to put him away or at least dominate more impressively. He is one of those fighters who either turns up or doesn’t, it seems. When he does he is capable of being terrifying and devastating as we saw in the monaghan and williams jr fights
