It was a good start for him until he made a rookie mistake and left his knee wide open for Frank to take advantage and put him in a kneebar and make him submit. Dana White knew that Brock had potential and that he could do well. His next fight was against Randy Couture a well known experienced fighter.

However Montiel didn’t allow this negativity and other’s attitudes and thoughts to go to his head and affect him.

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, Jr: Two Distinguished Fighters, One Ultimate Champion Lila Rivera COM/155 06/01/2012 Natasha Moore Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, Jr: Two Distinguished Fighters, One Ultimate Champion World renowned professional boxing legend, Oscar De La Hoya once said, “You need the whole package-boxing, interval training, weights, nutrition, rest, everything. I combine all of them together so I can become a machine up in that ring.” These words expressed by De La Hoya are straightforward and unpretentious, in his point of view that a great fighter needs to have the “whole package” in order to stand their ground, and perform in the ring. In this current era, fighters who possess the “whole package” are a dying breed. Although, there is an exception when you mention the two illustrious boxers, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. and Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao. Mayweather, Jr. and Pacquiao have developed training regimes, fighting styles, and reputations, which label them as great fighters and analysis of these attributes distinguishes who is the greatest.

Calling for fouls and penalties the refs kept the contest pure and fair.
