Jamahal Hill surprised a lot of people with his win over Ovince Saint Preux last weekend. And it’s not that people didn’t think he had the talent to get the victory over one of the most seasoned veterans in the light heavyweight division; it’s the way he did it and the poise he showed in beating OSP in only his ninth pro fight. Look at the guys who have beaten Saint Preux over the years: Jones, Rothwell, Reyes, Krylov, Latifi, Oezdemir, Teixeira, Manuwa. All fighters among the best in the world and with the experience to match. Hill’s win was his biggest to date, but I think it’s even bigger when you consider the company he’s keeping now.
