Josh Taylor vs. Viktor Postol & Martin Bakole Ilunga vs. DL Jones RBR.

I have him at #1, I'm just sick of this white fighter black fighter bull**** constantly brought up by Ellerbe.

 

no, you definitely have a race bias, but not much different than the posters youve mentioned. all of you feel justified in feeling how you do, given the individual realities each has constructed, but the unequal distribution of praise and critique is still there.

 

The thing is I don't even think UTF is as bad as the others. I was just pointing out that he always argues with people who are fans of black fighters, but he rarely if ever argues against fans of white fighters.

 

Prove that I have a race bias. What black fighter that's not American do i root for? LMAO, I was just shitting on Yoka today. I thought the Barthlemy brother lost against some Mexican fighter. You're just talking out of your ass. I rooted for Smith Jr over BHOP. Just because I root for black american fighters doesn't mean I have a race bias.

 

Could be but it would be a close tipping over the edge kind of deal. He'd be in a tough fight which would be close like this one. Because that Postol is in no shape or form that much better than this one because of unquantifiable and subjective idea such as momentum.

But this win proves why a victory against a single fighter doesn't mean you absorb all of his accomplishments. E.g. Postol won against Matthysse, that doesn't meant he's better than Matthysse in a p4p sense, he's maybe better in a h2h contest but you still need other wins. Which Postol lacks.

Same with Horn, even if Horn won against that old ass Pac, doesn't mean he's better than him, for all we know he could still go on to lose to opponents that Pacquiao even at this stage would beat easily.

 

Not really.

I had no use for Postol that evening, but he impressed me with his heart this time around.

 

CAFE

 

The ref was atrocious from the outset. Great first round for Postol put Taylor in his place when he felt Josh might be trying to take liberties in the clinch, and had him scrambling for a second.

Round 1: 10-9 Postol.

 

Aw you so and so, I see what you did there

 

Detached retina possibly.

 

Hope he's gone to hospital to have that checked ASAP, can be a sign of bleeding on the brain, best case scenario a concussion.
