I've never seen a mid fighter get hyped up on here like I have with Nakitani, his best attribute was that he wasn't scared of the heat Teofimo was sending his way and was willing to exchange with him no matter how many times his head got pinged. dude won like 2-3 rounds man.

Its like his fan club came from nowhere this weekend. Dude barely won 6 rds between Lopez and Verdejo. Damn near tall for no reason with the way he fights. He landed like 2 decent punches the whole Loma fight. Got constantly battered around and stopped. Never won 10 seconds of the fight. Whatever it is that people see in him.....
I just don't get it.

what I can't respect , is all this finger pointing PBC stans do to TR
"well if TR did it , we can too"
"Top Rank was in-house when PBC first started , PBC just doing what they learned from TR"
its a new generation , new talent , new scouts , new prospects and new fans ..
but yall wanna defend the same archaic matchmaking because "the white guys did it first years ago" ()
its 2021 we tryna see the best fight the best .
all the excuses , "well TR did it , PBC can too" "My side vs your side" .. that way of thinking has been destructive for matchmaking , and frankly the excuses are played out.
I wanna see everyone succeed if they wanna achieve legacy and greatness .
the whole fake belt "well my guy sold more PPV than your guy so we gonna freeze him out for 5+ years" that shyt is wack from a casual semi-hardcore fan perspective
..... just my 2 cents; this is coming from someone who enjoys both PBC, Top Rank, GoldenBoy, and DAZN cards . heck I can even appreciate what Triller doing with Snoop and ODLH commentary
p.s. and before anyone deflects to Teo fighting mandatory and Loma in-house ; atleast Teo-Loma is an elite level fight;
as many have pointed out Tank has yet to fight a true elite-level fighter .. so when he goes 11 rounds with Mario Barrios we gotta pretend Barrios is somehow on Josh Taylor level because the Coli refuses to keep that same energy for PBC fighters
Well thats just what they do..like you just called them "PBC stans" these people are wierdos. When you stan a promotional company that means you have to prop up all their fighters and bash fighters not associated with them..
They care about ticket sales and viewership almost above the best fights getting made.. any fight where pbc is involved they go from being stans to stanagers.. negotiations always have to be 100% I'm the pbc fighters favor or no fight
Just look at the nikkas in here acting like Barrios is better than or just as good as any non Al Haymon 135/140 pounders just cause he fake tough.. yet hasnt fought nobody good before Tank and the only thing he's accomplished in his career was pick up a vacant regular title in a fight he really loss vs a 9-fights midget.. They'll claim he better than a Nakatani and if we disagree oh now all of a sudden we Nakatani stans

Absolutely untrue. It's the pbc detractors whom don't keep the same energy. And give passes to all forms of bullshyt from other entities and fighters.

Man who gives a fukk about the $5 mill(not 7) they paid Amir. Do we really need to go over why Khan who sold more ppvs, had a better resume than every other pbc fighter at the time, was undefeated at 147, AND brought a whole revenue stream with him called Box Nation got thr offer he got??? And what does any of this have to do with goofy nikkas propping up an aint neva been shyt Mario Barrios??

UK brehs, what's with the hate for Tunde Ajayi? Is it his personality or ? I don't agree with his training methods (not sparring Yarde in prep for the KKKov fight then having him "empty the tank" which resulted in Yarde getting jab KO'd) but he seems like a fairly positive breh that doesn't bash anyone

for me its Gary Russell Jr...i need to see Gary in a big fight now.
Prograis would prolly be the seller right now since he's fought more frequently
Colbert would be a good ass fight too
Matias is a little too dangerous for Tank...he maybe a little chinny but dude's power and workrate is up there
