Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Yohan Lainesse — "White Lion" to fight fans — has built a 9-3 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Canada's regional scene.
On the feet he's a problem: 2.22 significant strikes a minute at 42% accuracy, and 67% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He's coming off a loss to Sam Patterson. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
