Win Methods
At #3 in the minimumweight rankings, Melvin Jerusalem — "El Gringo ("The White Guy")" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
He mixes it well — 12 stoppages against 13 decisions. Enough pop to keep opponents honest, enough craft to win the rounds when the knockout doesn't come.
He's coming off a loss to Siyakholwa Kuse. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
