    Everyone is obsessed with $$$$$$$$$$ Everyone seems to have a price. The State Commissions ought to be investigating a lot of the officiating today but just ignore it. !!! Maybe err!!! Do you think they maybe get brown envelopes too???

    Mayweather Yes that's obvious but Loma ?? I think he's been short changed a few times

    Maybe Ward didn't run but he knew & used every foul possible in his fights & was never called on them

    I have to disagree. I had it 7 - 5 haney, but loma fought way more aggressive than shakur. Rounds 10 and 11 loma was really putting it on haney, standing right in front of him unloading. Shakur doesn't do that, ever.

    I record fights now and watch the next day. That way if I see a stinker I can just start fast-forwarding thru to see if there is any action. Started ff-ing in the first round of the Stevenson dance and didn't stop until it was over. All I saw was posing so there was no reason to stop. Guy looks like he just wants to get paid and not engage. I can appreciate a great boxer but not that kind of nonsense. What is he gonna do if Tank starts buzzing bombs by his head? Now he won't fight for another 6 months and will price himself out of any real fights and will fight some scrub. No thanks

    YDKSAB. Loma made the fight from start to finish against the younger and bigger fighter.

    id like to see a smaller ring where elsuive fighters are forced to use proper footwork and angles instead of running halway across the ring everytime the opponoent starts to engage.

    Not a bad idea, but a small ring shakur would just hold hold hold

    Ring can come out with the Worst fight of the year award just like their FOTY

    Might shame some of these guys who put on stinkers & their delusional fans

    Congratulations, you found a unicorn.

    No go talk to Big Bone, No Neck, Stevie Bruno et al and the rest of team Floyd.

    Honestly, sometimes I wonder if you're just yanking my crank, because it's hard to imagine any sentient being could have such a glaring blindspot.

    I don't think this was aimed at me.

    My post was nothing do with Mayweather. My post was to do with someone saying those who criticise Stevenson are the same as those who praise Loma.

    It struck me as interesting as it's the exact opposite to what you say.

    That’s a lie. Loma fights off the front foot. I suggest you watch the fight again.

    Shakur is the future of the lightweight divisions and Loma spanked Haney.

    Haha, no. He fought better against Haney than he did against Lopez, no question about that, but he still mostly was passive in the first half of the Haney fight and ineffective offensively. To be clear Haney mostly was ineffective also, hence the reason those rounds were difficult to score.
