Joaquin Buckley is not deterred by defeat.
The Missouri native is not shaken up by his defeat at the hands of one of the greatest welterweights of all time, who, despite being old in the division, still has the chops to make a run for the title. Despite this, Buckley’s bravado has not wavered, as he is still willing to make call-outs, despite not always coming out on top. However, this mindset is what sets Buckley apart, as he remains a threat in the welterweight division.
