    He drinks and parties too much thats his problem and broner will only make it worse since they're boys. He should have at least learned how to stay in shape year round from pbf by now.

    I was hoping he would. Maybe he'll learn that lesson. If not, he's just another cat that fell in love with the PBF lifestyle but didn't respect the grind it took to get there. Floyd's got a legendary work ethic...but these young dudes ignore that part of it

    Marriaga weighed 135 for Walters who outweighed him by 10lbs down at 126, Loma weighed 137-138 and Marriaga would've likely added a few pounds when he moved up to fight Loma at 130. And Loma only moved up to 130 because all the other champions were openly ducking him or fights against them couldn't get made for whatever reason.

    And an awful lot of the clowns who trash Loma for fighting the smaller Rigo are the same clowns who not only begged for that fight and spent ages saying Loma was ducking him, but they also were adamant that Rigo was going to expose that hype, break his face, or spark him out cold. Absolutely adamant!

    You won't hear a peep out of them about Salido having an 11lb weight advantage over Loma and missing weight, or Linares having at least a 7lb weight advantage over Loma, Martinez having a 7lb advantage over him, or any of the other fighters who've held a significant weight advantage over him which at least 6 of 13 opponents have. And he only had a 1lb or less weight advantage over 3 of those remaining 7 (GRJ, Walters, Koasicha).

    So that leaves Sosa who had 3lbs on Loma, Rigo who Loma had about 8lbs, max 9lbs on, Rodriguez who Loma had 6lbs on, and Marriaga who like I said weighed 135 for Walters down at 126, 2 or 3lbs less than what Loma would've weighed when he fought him at 130 and likely would've added at least a couple of pounds when he moved up to face Loma.

    And last but not least. Many of these exact same clowns who trash Loma for fighting smaller opponents (which he has only done a couple of times), begged for Loma to face Rigo, crucified him for 'ducking' him, and were absolutely certain their supernatural once in a lifetime untouchable magician P4P top 1-3 god Rigo was going to whoop his ass just so happen to be massive Crawford fanboys too and ever so bizarrely enough you won't hear a single peep out of them about king of the weight bullies Bud facing smaller opponents despite the fact that, and in complete contrast to Loma, he usually has a significant weight advantage over his opponents regardless if he's campaigning in his first, second or even third weight class and rehydrates 15-18lbs after the weigh in, at 135, 140 and highly likely at 147 too.

    Like the 9lbs he had on Klimov, the 7lbs he had on Gamboa, the 6lbs he had on Beltran, the 5lbs he had on Postol, the 4lbs he had on Lundy, and he weighed 2lbs more against Postol and Diaz than what Horn weighed against him despite those fights being down at 140 and he'd bulked up and added weight to campaign at 147 too, so yet again he had a significant advantage even up at 147.

    No I stay up all night to watch boxing every weekend because I'm hard core, usually on 3 or 4 hours sleep too. Tonight is one of the rare occasions I actually had a nap before the boxing started, from about 10pm to 1:00am so I'm feeling a lot more energetic than I usually am at this hour.

    Hahhaa but all You need to do is leave that rainy sheethole and move to US, better weather, more money, much better looking women , bigger variety of foods and you wouldn’t have to stay awake every weekend . In other words much better quality of life in US than UK.

    lol I don't doubt it, not sure about the women being better looking though. Contrary to what some believe, there are plenty of hot women over here. In fact, there's more than enough to last me a lifetime in my area alone.

    But there are plenty of other parts of the world I would opt for over the USA albeit there are a lot of stunningly beautiful places in the US that appeal to me, especially the more rural or on the outskirts of the wilderness parts.

    Most people on here right now, I'd say 75%, weren't even here when the Gamboa hype was at it's peak.

    So what, Salido's son finally faced Rigo a year and a half after Arum lowballed Rigo, and he fought him at 130 for even more of a size advantage than he would of had at 126. Why is beating a 5'3 122 pounder, without punishing him at all, the highlight of Lomachenko's career? It's because his opposition, outside of two smaller men, has been extremely lackluster. Why not fight Marriaga at 126? It would have definitely been a better fight there. Lomachenko left 126 beating only Russell Jr. Moving up to 130, and then not fighting the best guys at 130 either before moving up to 135, which is a barren division. His claim to fame is beating two midgets, and then having a tough time with DeMarco, and Cano's son, followed by another tough time with Tank's son.
