The 25-year-old turned pro in 2005 and went undefeated for his first 43 bouts, fighting to a draw against Jorge Juarez early on in his career. He suffered his first and only loss of his career in September 2013 when he fell by majority decision to world champion fighter Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in Las Vegas.
