Houston heavyweight with 24 career knockouts, known for ending fights with a single right hand regardless of how the rounds are going. Low-volume by the numbers but always dangerous, as his 35-second KO of Tallison Teixeira in 2025 showed. At 41 he has dropped back-to-back TKO losses to Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Josh Hokit in 2026.
