Hows it not true? These dudes are fighting more bums. Sure we see them four times, but if only 1 of those four times is a good fight how will a casual know when its a good one?

Hopkins is shytting on nikkas for doing the same EXACT shyt he was doing

Mario Kart N Shumenov :comeon:

He's shytting on PBC for their fights made this year N biggin up GBPs fights made this year...

Cuz Canelo v Kirkland... Lundy v Herrera...Lemeiux v Ndam are great fights the public been asking for :camby:

So was Kid Choc vs Ndam

Was Kid Choc vs Ndam praised or was it a Haymon cherry pick?

We not talking about what was entertaining N what wasnt

Arreola vs the oline nikka on Spike was a fun ass fight too...but guess what its not praised as an awesome action packed fight

Dog Walters looked like he was fighting a dude multiple divisions smaller than him with Marriaga plus he played those scale games. Breh was getting caught flush the first 6 rounds.

and loma got caught flush plenty of times vs salido.

everytime salido came in to do legit clean inside fighting he held. he cant fight on the inside that good.(ill pull up the gif)

open to the same righthook n body shots all night long. his defense aint all that.


when have i ever said walters was good defensely? lol never.

he recoverd fast from all the times he was buzzed n proceeded to whoop ass.

Walters is a good fighter, I don't think anyone would deny that. Loma vs. Walters would be a great fight, I don't think anyone will deny that.
Loma is a tough one because he immediately went straight into fighting guys most fighters due in their prime and he did it after one fight from turning pro. Salido gave Loma a lesson on what it is like to fight in a pro fight vs. amateur fight. I think most would agree that if the fight took place now, Loma would win convincingly. Loma was so seasoned as a amateur he didn't want that build up and it cost him. Also though, matching Loma against build up opponents would have been worthless because Loma would have won those easily. He should have been fighting more talented guys than what is normal, but Salido was maybe just too "veteran".
The GRJ win was a good win, but not without flaws. He definitely was seen as having the potential to be a top player at 126, but he had been criticized for not moving his own career along fast enough. GRJ's strengths were supposed to be his boxing ability and speed and Loma completely negated that and dominated.
For most Marriaga was deemed as a good opponent, but his true quality is probably up in the air. He himself hadn't had a real fighter list to know what his true value was. And sometimes KO% isn't always the best judge of power. Many fighters say Arthur Abraham is the hardest puncher they have faced, but his KO% wouldn't tell you that. Like my Diego Chavez example sometimes guys have KO power against lesser opponents, but when you face top competition (and Walters is top competition) your power isn't the same. Maybe it is legit too. I think Walters takes a decent punch. Donaire hurt him, but there is no doubt Donaire can crack - even though Donaire has a similar KO% to Abraham.
It sounds like Walters is more likely to move up to 130, I have long said Walters looked big at 126. I kind of think the size difference between Rigo vs. Loma and Loma vs. Walters is the same. Both fights one fighter will be reasonably bigger than the other. From my standpoint I prefer to see Rigo vs. Loma, because you have two of the greatest amateur fighters ever and from a technical skill standpoint they are 2 of the most skillfully talented fighters in boxing (along with Mayweather and Ward).
:manny:


was grj resume really that great when he fought loma? it really better than marriaga's?

dont write a long anwser...

just say yes or no.

thanks.
