Win Methods
Arnold Barboza Jr. is ranked #4 at super lightweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The knockout reel is short (11 KOs), but the win column isn't. This is point-scoring, round-stealing boxing — frustrating to fight, effective on scorecards.
Last time out he beat Kenneth Sims Jr. (Decision (Unanimous)) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
