I'm about to post something and I'm probably gone get a bunch of shyt for it but oh well...
I was watching the OTX show last night, and I think this is the second or third of these joints of watched and I noticed something that has really bothered me in the last two...
These young black fighters have little to no identity. They all want to be Floyd but don't really understand what it took for Floyd to get to the where he was. They all wanna shoulder roll on the ropes. They all wanna pull counter. The two young brothas that lost night could have easily won if they had tried to keep the fight in the middle of the ring and make their opponent miss. But nah, nikkas wanna get on the ropes and lean and turn and shyt. And when they get hit with something nice, they wanna shake their heads like that shyt didn't hurt. nikka get your ass off the ropes and throw some cotdamn punches. That's how you're going to win. Not by tryna look cute. For every young black fighter that watches Floyd tape and wants to be him, they need to watch some Biscuits tape and see how it didn't work for him.
