Cause a boxer you "randomly" dikkride, to catch the asswhooping of their life brehs

Huh? From what I remember @RGR_Newzz was the main one riding for Loma while half this board was saying how Rigo was going to “expose” him. Not to mention people here saying that they wouldn’t use weight as an excuse if he loses...and surprise surprise.

troyanosky chin has a little china in it but he can punch...flanagan though...he gets past whoever hes facing in the opening fight..it will be because of experience factor which he has

I don't think Flanagan gets past...
dude has experience but barely any real experience... he ducked serious challenges in 135 and Hooker just took his 0 in his last fight.
That and his first opponent will be either Taylor or Prograis.
Kalle Sauerland said about Prograis that his opponent in QF will be either Flanagan or Martin
Baranchyk and Yigit fight each other in the QF for the vacant belt
Relikh fights his mando, Troyanovski
that means Prograis and Taylor are the other two in the first bracket and they fight Flanagan and Martin

@Skip b doggie how you gonna be hating on Spence and Crawford in a match vs. Pacquiao when you were the same guy hyping up Rios in his fight vs. Pacquiao.

..... The man had a family to feed fam we tried to speak victory into existence for RiGawd

Rigo wanted a catch-weight of 124 back when Loma was still at featherweight, and quite frankly I'm blaming Arum for not making it happen. Last time he put a cash cow in with Rigo, he got fukkd over, he knew better than to throw in Loma with Rigo.

There was no long count. Please let's stop with this myth. It's about as bad as the so-called extra time Ali received between rounds in the first Cooper fight.

The ref was behind the count if you look at the man with the white gloves. I counted to ten by the time Buster stood up.

Pac looked good this weekend, aside of the "no VADA test" thing Matthysse really looked confused when he got hit from round one.
He is a slugger who got intimidated and turned backwards, no way back from there. In round 1 I already saw Matthysse gonna have major problems in this fight, he reacted very badly to punches, never ever saw him this confused getting hit to be honest. He just took 3 steps back with a high guard but shyt looked very unnatural. It was like his soul was completely gone in round 1.

Idk what Pac wanna do now, imo it's pretty meaningless to continue his career if he doesn't want the top guys but that's just my 2 cents and obviously it's his decision. I was kinda pissed that they couldn't get him to fight Crawford cause I'm a Bud fan but I'm over that, I doN't think they ever gonna fight, I think Pac gonna target that Khan fight and maybe get it too, it would be pretty entertaining to be fair.

Teofimo looked good but the ESPN ass kissing was over the top. They made it out like dude would be some surefire future HOF-er liek we didn't expect him blowing this guy out the water. His offense was indeed impressive but I still hold off my judgment about him until I see him with someone who's remotely dangerous and not someone who is expected to get beat down by him. His defense looks bad for instance just Silva didn't dare to do much and probably didn't have the power either had he tried. Now he is an offensive fighter so obviously he gonna get hit more but I need to see how his chin hold up.

Porgrais on the other hand as a not in-house fighter was criticised by the ESPN team a lot about his defense, I think his chin seems to be good based on what we know so far and he is also pretty good at slipping on the inside. His style is very risky though, no doubt, because he goes in the pocket with his hands down basically only relying on head movement in exchange his shots are a lot less predictable than if his hands would be up al the time. So far it paid off for him, I still think he gonna win the WBSS, his biggest challenge gonna be Taylor. I also think the winner of 140 WBSS gonna be the best at the weight, above Ramirez, Hooker and Saucedo (Lipinets too btw but I doN't list him since he's moving up). Look out for Shohjahon Ergashev though, guy seems to have the goods and he is on the cusp of becoming a title contender.

yeah Ergashev looks like a darkhorse right now

what do y'all think of Evgeny Romanov? Guy Ko'ed Wilder in the AMs and has been pro. He's got good speed and skills but I feel like the size disadvantage may do him in.
