Famed American trainer Teddy Atlas has expressed his belief that UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley could succeed in professional boxing.
"I believe O'Malley would beat a lot of professional boxers. He could beat a lot of people, that's how good of a boxer he is. He has very good movement. He has very clean and technical combinations. And he has a high boxing IQ.
Shawn sees everything, he's a great counterpuncher. He has a long jab and he uses it to land his punches. He perfectly controls the distance, and not only through his legs, but also through long punches," - said the specialist on his YouTube channel.
Recall, on March 9 at UFC 299 O'Malley defeated Marlon Vera by unanimous decision of judges.
