Pico losing could be the best thing....

... that has happened in his athletic career.

Pete Sampras lost in the 92 US Open finals, up until that loss, he admitted he didn't have a problem finishing at 2nd place, but then he realized no one remembers a 2nd place finisher. The rest is history......

He shouldn't have fought a guy with that much experience. I'm sure he'll continue to get better. He still has a boatload of potential.

You are comparing a kid who has accomplished absolutely nothing as a professional to one of the greatest tennis players in the history of the game. That's just daft.

Exactly

First thing he needs to do is drop a weightclass or two. He's too small for LW.

ya if he wrestled at 143 with same day weigh-ins

Should be fighting at 135 optimally with a day of rehydration. definintely not more than 145. he was fighting a guy that is realistically 2 weight classes above him, and enough experience to know that.
