Luke Campbell is one of the best active fighters to have never tasted gold

Loma is a tad over rated, as opposed to Campbell actually being good. Campbell has no career defining wins. The only times he has stepped up, he lost. Just like with the Pedraza fight you have Loma fans trying to make the opponent out to be better than he is to try and make it seem like Loma is fighting top level opposition.

Loma has fought, Pedraza, Crolla, and now Campbell, continuing his habit of soft opposition. woo who, that is some murderers row.

 

Rigondeaux and Linares are soft touches?

 

I thought there was a lot to pick apart for sure,his stance got me,legs wide apart as opposed to being on the balls of his feet and like you say his movement was not great.
UK have a terrible coaching system in all sports,they don't encourage any flair or unorthodox and it shows when they face World level guys.
I get that it's your way of describing em but there are recognized categories to describe and rate fighters.
Calling a grown man a bum is a deeply offensive term where I come from as it has connotations of someone who can't look after his family or someone you wouldn't want to be seen talking to.

 

rofl he dragged rigo 2 weights up, man. hahahahahha

Linares I consider it his best win though.

Walters in my opinion bet against himself in a pretty obvious way, as soon as the fight ended I'm sure a friend of him was getting the cash of the bet somewhere in las vegas.

Russel jr imho fought like trash, he can do it better, losing for being an idiot is completely legit though, very good win for loma.

But appart from linares and russell.... meehhh. Lomachenko is quite good though, that's undeniable. Top fighter, no doubt, no doubt at all. A bit overrated too, but I dont want anyone to think that I dont like how lomachenko boxes.

 

I only had seen "bum" used in this forum, I have never heard it in real life. I thought it was a way of saying someone was a bad boxer, that's all. I didnt know that, I'll stop using it since it doesnt mean what I thought.

Sorry, I apologize then, it wasnt my intention to mean that.

 

Lol I'd never heard of tomato can until I came here,know it means a rubbish boxer but I haven't figured out how this saying came to be.

 

Supposedly, this expression comes from the old days, when people fought basically evey week/month and those who were hired to lose against the homie appeared in the ring with the face with the cuts and wounds of the previous beating. As soon as they were touched, they started to bleed, so people said the tomato can was opened, and called tomato cans those who went from beating to beating with the wounds still on his face.

I was curious about this expression and looked for its origin. Dont trust me though, maybe the guy I read explaining it was plain lying. But I liked the story and believed it
