More than deseved it Best part is the dudes a coward just acting up in front of his boys no danger he'd be doin that **** if he was alone he thinks they'll back him up and they just laugh at him!,,
It's not I seen it a good while ago. I know this particular vid was uploaded 2 days ago but I seen it roughly a year ago or that.
Yeah someone bumped a thread in the lounge that had the original video on it beofre anyone knew who it was, was last year sometime I think
He's not that old. About 50 in the vid. Tony Lopez has posted on Youtube telling people to have some respect. Nice of the guy to do that for what good it will do.
Considering he walks with a stick and supposedly had a stroke, and is in his 50, Lockridge is still nails. To those who know him for the, admittedly hilarious, 'Best Cry Ever', I implore you to review footage of this man, sparking Roger Mayweather's '0' away from him before anyone knew he couldn't take a punch, and arguably beating Pedroza years before McGuigan did. He wasn't perfect, the usually non-punching Laporte blasted him (Laporte had one of the greatest chins ever BTW, check him out) but he was robbed against Wilfredo Gomez, and also had tremendously fun fights with Tony Lopez (in BN's recent '100 Greatest Fights' special) and Boza Edwards (on my channel) Trained by defensive savant George Benton, Lockridge was a well-rounded fighter who could punch, was resilient, and able to adapt. Brilliant fighter if not an all-time great.
The Laporte result is odd when you consider that, as you said, Laporte wasn't an exceptional puncher yet Lockridge went the distance with Chavez, Gomez and others. It was definitely an anomaly, so maybe there was an external reason behind that performance?
Lockridge could be hurt though, and as AlFrancis says, it happens, and has happened to even more exceptionally tough fighters than Lockridge and quicker. For example, Boza dropped him heavily in the first round. I won't say Lockridge was always a slow starter though, he wasn't bothered by Pedroza until late in the fight, so it's just one of those things at the top level.
