    Worst thing to happen to him was stopping a shot to **** Rungvisai and getting hyped from the win as a p4p. He isn't as good as people are making him out to be.

    Gonzo was a very durable fighter, i knew that. But that said based off of this performance, hes not ready for choco, estrada and definitely not Inoue.

    Ehhh. He wasn’t motivated against the random Mexican. He’d def bring a diff level to the three you mentioned.

    You could be right, hes definitely capable of it but those guys arent Gonzo. He cant afford an off night against those guys.

    Bam's been calling himself special, a future ATG, and a once-in-a-lifetime fighter for months and months now.

    If you think he is an ATG then just compare him as a technician to JMM. Marquez is much much better

    To be fair, it wasn't just that Bam beat two big name old guys, it was how he looked doing it that caused some of the hype. He didn't look like that at all tonight and it had almost nothing to do with Israel Gonzalez. Rodriguez fought an uninspired, lackluster, going through the motions fight. I don't know which is the real Bam but he should be a bit embarrassed by his effort tonight.

    Confidence is saying you don't feel like anyone can beat you.

    Delusional arrogance is when you fought 2 shot dudes and then started claiming you're special, an ATG, and a generational fighter.

    I was disappointed with him. If you're going to model yourself on the master Loma you don't just stand in front of your opponent behind a high guard. You slip and slide in and out of range with the grace and finesse of a ballerina whilst being as defensively sound stepping in as you are stepping back out. Granted this is a very hard thing to do and many so called defensive masters cannot do it. But Loma was in attendance tonight so maybe he'll take him aside and teach him some of his magic tricks

    But they need to keep Bam-Rod as far away from Sunny Edwards as possible because a horrific slicking awaits him if they're dumb enough to take that fight

    bambam is a hell of a talent. ATG is a lot, but HOF is izi pizi for him as long as he takes his career seriously.

    Bum Bum was protected by crooked ref Bayless and the even more crooked judges. That fight was an absolute farce.

    I learned one thing about Bam last night. Hes not ready for Estrada, choco, or Inoue. Hes got the talent but had he been in the ring with any of those guys last night he would have got stopped.
