I am talking a huge all around difference. In the beginning Leben was one of the most juvenile, thuggish, and for the most part generally loathed fighters. Watching his seemingly overnight maturation in the ring as well as outside the ring was a genuine surprise. When was the last time you saw Leben fight with a gameplan and actually stick to it instead of unleashing hopeful haymakers? It was nice to see this kid come about in his own right. Hopefully the progression continues.
^^^Not only did he pull it off, I was completely amazed at the fact that he held his composure like he did. Looks like a new fighter.
Congrats Coach!
we definitely won't discount the experience he gained at quest...
that's a pretty ridiculously great foundation to have...
his being with matt hume now will only continue to serve to improve his overall game and maturity...
