Can anyone give a breakdown of Ratcliff’s skills? How good is he?

(hopefully a poster that John G. actually respects will respond)

Thanks!

Can’t really break it down too much. I know he has been an exciting striker in the fights I’ve seen him in. His record is 7 and 1. With 5 wins coming by way of KO/TKO. Got caught in a guillotine by Marcus Hicks. So I’m not too sure how well rounded he is. Think he will be dangerous to Cowboy if they stand and trade. But Cerrone will probably sub him. On paper anyway it looks like a taylor made fight to start building Cowboy back up.
