Nice job, Rummy. I appreciate your work. I hope we get Mikey Garcia vs Robert Easter and Loma vs Beltran this summer and then the inevitable Loma vs Garcia fight in early December. A man can dream, right?!
Yeah and Jacobs got KTFO by Pirog and dropped by ****ing Sergio Mora. Thing is Linares AT LEAST has great skills, speed etc... He has his vulnerabilities but he can give ANYONE trouble if he's on point on the night. The same cannot be said for Jacobs though, I mean he's decent but he doesn't really excel at anything.
Yes Pirog.. Not a guy called yeyo lmfao. Sure he got dropped, what did he proceed to do after that? What happened in their rematch? LMAO. How the **** are you going to bring up a fight Jacobs won in as an example.
Getting dropped by Sergio Mora is a pretty significant thing, smaller fighter, no power, didn't he get f'd up by an injury in that same fight also?
Ok so you blame it on the injury. What happened in their rematch? And not really, since he ran RIGHT into the shot. What's your point? If he got dropped on the backfoot that's one thing, but getting dropped being careless is another. Linares is a good fighter, but definitely would not be close to top 5 in MW.
Who cares if he won or not that's not the point, getting dropped by a smaller guy, on the twilight of his career whose known for being featherfisted is bad enough by itself.. This is like Spence getting dropped by Paulie or something. If same thing happened to GGG, he would never be allowed to live this down lol. So yes that's bad, the Pirog thing as well - never had the chance to cement himself as an elite anything, big fan of the guy, great style but his career was too shortlived with only one victory which itself came against the prospect version of this very fighter, Jacobs doesn't get a pass on this. As far as it stands, he got beaten by a guy with no other significant wins.
Good stuff. But comparing Ward, who would probably be loosing to guys like Bivol, but specially Beterbiev, to Lomachenko is a far fetch.
Linares is a more up-down fighter that's the thing, he can be dog**** but he can also be very good, I honestly think even in say a fight against Mikey Garcia - a p4p level guy, Linares could end up properly outboxing him for few rounds. Jacobs, for me he's just really a B level guy all around, I don't see any special effects from him at all other than a good pop.
Enjoyed Rummy's video and agree that Lomachenko is the best P4P, Golovkin, at this time is a close second. Crawford? After he fights a legit fighter at 147 we will know more, a fight against Horn will tell us nothing as Horn can't fight. Crawford vs. Spence or Thurman would be the test although Porter would be tough for Crawford for sure.......................here's where I disagree.........................Ward...................Ward is the dirtiest fighter I have ever seen. Harold Lederman and most had Kovalev beating Ward by decision in the first fight, but as we all expected, the judges were for Ward. In the rematch, Ward threw intentional low blows which can be proven with the video and still pictures....................low blows are illegal in boxing, Ward should have been warned, after landing 3 low blows in a row, Ward should have been warned, the fight stopped and Kovalev given 5 minutes rest for Ward disqualified, same as Golota was vs. Bowe, but instead, Ward landed 3 very low blows, not borderline, and Weeks said nothing, instead he called it a knockout by testicle blows! Paulie said it was the first time he had ever seen a fight called a knockout on low blows and given to the fighter who landed the low blows, on HBO Max asked Ward if those were borderline low blows, or low low blows! What?! The video clearly shows the blows were very low, Kovalev's belt was on the belly button, navel, he had a wide belt, the blows were landed on the letters well below the belt and landed in an upward motion to do the most damage to Kovalev's testicles! The upward motion made the cup move upward for the most pain.....................I know what that feels like as I have been hit there just like that. Why are most fans afraid of Ward? Why are most fans afraid of telling the truth? Kathy Duva said that Bob Bennett would not even review the video! This content is protected Nobody can dispute the low blows, they are illegal......................there should be a rematch in neutral territory, with neutral judges and referee. Really, the fight should be held in Russia with Russian judges, referee, boxing commission to make things right, at least have a fair fight without cheating! Ward is a cheat, he headbuts, holds, wrestles, lands low blows, elbows, you name it. SOMEONE GET UP THE NERVE TO ADMIT THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS FIGHT! Three American judges, American referee, American boxing commisssion, etc., remember, when Ward was asked about having neutral judges, Ward said that would be unfair...............someone please explain why neutral judges would be unfair? Yes, Kovalev is an Eastern European fighter, and the judging for Lomachenko showed the bias, as well as Golovkin....................and I won't even go into the bias against the Klitschkos, esp. early...................
