Although he won his first 11 bouts, including a victory over former IBF Lightweight Title holderPhilip Holiday, he was KO'd in 2003 byEmmanuel Clottey, although he was winning the fight at the time, and it appeared that he was counted out only because he didn't understand the referee's count (which was in English). He has since lost toMiguel Cotto andAndreas Kotelnik.[2]
