Joaquin Buckley, better known as "New Mansa", holds the #10 spot at welterweight, flying the flag for the United States — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 15 KO/TKO wins, 3.62 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add the southpaw stance and a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Sean Brady (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
