Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

I don't know about great potential, great fighters don't lose to someone of that caliber...especially with the amateur experience Imam had under his belt.

I hear what you're saying but you're underselling Granados. He gave Brad Solomon hell in a fight a lot thought he won. Even his fight with Diaz wasn't a blowout by any stretch. He's a tough match up for any fighter that's coming through the ranks.

Imam, if he was as great as he was portrayed to be (which is supposedly better than Swift or Broner at 140...people even thought so highly of them, they claimed those 2 were ducking him), he should've beat Granados.


Imam is good, but he's not ever going to be great imo, because great fighters with real amateur experience don't lose to fighters of Granados caliber at any points of their careers on the rise.

I think Imam still beats Danny and AB..

I think it was a case of Imam smelling himself and letting the hype go to his head where he was not prepared at all to face a live body who wasn't going to just try to survive or fold up like a ho. So being ill prepared and being in the ring with a dude who was intent on actually fighting to win resulted in that TKO.
I knew he was going to be in trouble when he showed up for that fight press conference with the "Superstar Shade" on and shyt:

I'm not ready to write Imam off just yet but I will be expecting him to prove something with his next few fights before I start looking at him again as possibly being a future force in the sport.

I know for me personally I didn't realize who Granados was till after the fight. I saw both the Solomon & Diaz fights were he gave both hell. He got off the canvas in the Diaz fight & gave him all he could handle. I knew he has heart. There's no shame in losing to Granados who fought a good fight, but there's no excuse for Imam for not using what got him there in the first place.

iman might need a new trainer to

I remember a few guys saying his trainer didn't know how to adjust to the fight.

that fight rubs me the wrong way..it was a great fight but seeing donaire getting into this type of fight with this type of fighter was surprising and alarming to me..dude was on the verge of collapse at the final bell

in donaires defense any other 122 pounder in the world is knocked the fukk out after taking that many CLEAN power shots from Nonito to the head

 

[#SOG_soldier]

Nonito faces everyone

hes underrated IMO.


most fans downplay his career achievements and only bring up the losses to axe man and RIGBUM but i think ninito has one more P4P run in him

I just look at it like this:


Amir Imam was supposed to be great breh. Not good...GREAT. That's what they told us, and imo, great fighters don't lose to people like Adrian Granados, especially via KO though. That's not including the fact he already showed us, for no matter how much yall claimed he was "better than Broner with it", his shoulder roll defense was extremely leaky....which is why Fidel Maldonado Jr sat him down as well. Granados was just able to keep up the effort while Maldonado couldn't.
