Anybody seen this bullsh*t?
=103s

I'm sorry but I have to write a titangraph on this BS. I never took him seriously, but the same goes for Jim Lampley, Harold Lederman, Al Bernstein, Max Kellerman etc. WTF do Dre and Terence Crawford have in common in terms of fighting style? Apart from being unbeaten fighters the only thing they got in common is their AA ethnicity. Dre is mixed though and was raised by his white father. Why shouldn't he be a star? He won a gold medal for your country, been unbeate since 12, won super six, cleaned out 168 division etc.

lol @ This coded talk. Basically he's saying black fighters can't become superstars because the general public can't identify with 'em. In a sense he's right because racism in boxing is well documented. These people are funny. They'll root for a foreign fighter that doesn't even speak English against an American fighter if that 'domestic' fighter has the 'wrong color or ethnicity.

These p4p lists are a joke too. How is Loma leading any list when he only had 9 pro fights (!) and had a loss? Gary Russell jr. and Nicholas Walters are the names on his resume. He lost to Salido. P4p means you can adapt to any style unless they changed the definition. This ain't no popularity contest. Bud and Dre have proven that they can beat any style. Loma hasn't. While Loma has improved, he's already proven that he has trouble dealing with pressure. I think he'd beat Salido in a rematch though, but we'd have to see. He been ducking Rigo for years now BTW. Why ain't there no outcry for him to fight Rigo who been calling him out for a while now? Where's the demand to avenge his loss against Salido? When Floyd's fights vs Castillo and Maidana were somewhat competitive, there was a demand for a rematch. He fought these guys the same year and beat them convincingly. There was a demand Ward vs. Kovalev after Dre won a UD. There was a demand to see Floyd against guys who they hoped would beat him like Pacman and even Canelo. After Floyd dominated them they made up excuses like "he was too young" or "he's past his prime, he should've fought him 6 years ago" eventhough Floyd is always gonna be 2 years older than Pacman. What's the difference between Floyd, Ward and Loma? They wanted to see the first 2 lose, while they don't wanna see their GWH lose.

When they couldn't get their GWH in the HW division they just created a fictional character with Rocky. No coincidence Rocky got a statue in Philly before Joe Frazier. It gotta be frustrating though, when you control everything in the world, conquered several continents etc., but when a fight takes place on an equal playing field more often than not you'll lose against these people you been trying to hold back and marginalize for centuries. I think it's the same sentiment as when they wanna hate when one of 'their' women choose up on a brother. They lynched brothers for that stuff, just like how they lynched brothers when Jack Johnson beat one of their GWH's. They're threatened by the black man's masculinity.


I stay talking bout it but folk don't care. They sabatoge black fighters and hide lesser fighters from them ... boxing allowed frampton mares quigg and Santa Cruz to avoid riggy on purpose. They doing the same at 154. They make it OK for crackers and Hispanics to support they countryman but make it a touchy subject when niggas wanna support black fighters. They tried to black ball Al Haymon never talk about showtime fighters and bash Floyd's fighters.... but euro mex hbo can do know wrong. Why is it every black fighter is labeled boring?

ducking Rigo.. though

Why is riggy amateur career not bragged about the same as loma? Why is loma always hyped up and riggy bashed? Riggy wanted the Lima fight at a catch weight cuz of the size difference and they turned it down.

4 year ago thats all everyone talked about.. he then started fighting infrequently, He only fought 4 times since 2013

Rigo his a great boxer... But Loma will knock him out.. Riggy is chinny as fuck and not nearly the athlete he is. Loma aint duckin shit

Yeah, Spence turns it up in the 2nd half.
 
Damn he fired his ass up at the end.. Good fight though.. You gotta know when to hold them and when to fold them.. wise decision at that point to take that knee
 
Just realized I'll be in Vegas this weekend, Might see if I could attend some of the fight festivities and the fight itself...Also, I'll be placing a bet on Ward

Featherweight in coma after brain surgery

Featherweight Daniel Franco remained in a coma on Sunday after suffering a brutal eighth-round knockout loss on Saturday night in the main event of a CBS Sports Network-televised boxing card at the WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.

"At this point the doctors have told us the next 48 hours will be critical in regards to him making a complete recovery," manager Ray Chaparro, who accompanied Franco to the hospital, said in a statement. "We ask for prayers from the boxing community at this time."

Shortly after the fight, Franco was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery to stop two brain bleeds he suffered in the loss to Jose Haro (14-1-1, 8 KOs), 30, of West Jordan, Utah.

Franco (16-2-3, 11 KOs), 25, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, took a lot of hard right hands throughout the fight. A big one wobbled Franco in the sixth round. In the eighth round of the scheduled 10-rounder, Haro landed another clean overhand right that knocked Franco down. Franco beat the count but later in the round Haro landed yet another right hand, this time near Franco's temple, and he went down hard, face first in exaggerated fashion. Referee Celestino Ruiz immediately waved off the fight without a count at 2 minutes, 43 seconds.

Franco appeared alert moments later and was able to get on a stool in the ring, where he received medical attention. He was still alert and seemed OK several minutes later when the result of the bout was read, but he eventually laid back down on the mat and was taken out of the ring on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital.

Franco, who is promoted by Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports, suffered his first defeat by third-round knockout to Christopher Martin on March 23, but bounced back to score a first-round knockout win against Francisco Agustin Suarez on May 12 before taking on Haro.

Now he is fighting for his life.

"Roc Nation's thoughts and prayers are with Daniel Franco and his family during this critical recovery period. He is a tenacious talent and champion, and will always have our support," said Michael Yormark, Roc Nation's president and chief of branding and strategy.
