I'll never forget when AB was in the corner vs Maidana telling his trainer to "calm down...we alright. let's go" after the 2nd round:mindblown:


my wife who was not even a AB fan was like "how u supposed to win when ur coach is freaking out ?"

He is a good hood dude and very loyal. I take it as they have too many mutal friends and it was either look out for your career or let a dude bank off u from loyalty alone. They had nothing else to offer him. Broner been fighting the same way and same style for the past 8 years I have watched him

Nothing I liked Roy; my eye knows best though

Theres too many instances of Roy touching people and they look like they seen the white light and God, and the same in his later career where he laid on the ropes vs plodders that couldn't catch him on their fastest day, took shots fell to the mat with his eyes open, then went asleep like 15 secs after the ten count....Too many instances of this vs opponents and himself.....:heh:

Roy Im a fan of I just have all type of negative feelings in regards to his career; plus he a cheat that really didn't challenge himself.......A BHOP victory post BHOP Tito would have erased those negative thoughts, the ko' losses(potentially dives) thereafter and all of that, but BHOP didnt want that......... negative shadow on both Mainly BHOP yet it still affected Roys legacy that was his legacy match, they was Floyd and Manny to a slight lesser degree at one time......

Get blamed when your fighter is shucking and jiving out there taking hands's, when he's trying to warn his fighter shyt is real and he in the ring with a Killer.....

I dont understand why would his trainer would get blamed rounds 1-2 there; not there, if someone want to critique his corner advice go ahead, but not there...

Offered him a 7 figure purse to fight Loma:mjpls:







It's up to Jorge Linares to accept it or leave it:manny:

I don't believe that for a second, one of the issues that TR has been having with securing opponents for Loma is that his fight purse is 7 figs while fighting in small venues(less of a gate), leaving very little for his opponents. Maybe fighting in the MSG bigroom can change that but I'm just not buying Arum is offering that much. Rafael has been acting as a mouthpiece ever since the TR-ESPN deal.

I expect the same type of offers going in the direction of Porter/DSG/Thurman/Spence regarding a Crawford fight then :thurman:
Crawford not bigger than Loma is he?

I don't see Bob offering big money to the pbc top brass at 147. I don't think Bob should or will invest too much into crawford. Loma is better and much more entertaining
