Not for nothing but to say Jose Rivera was not a "legit" fighter is kind of crazy. He is obviously not PBF or Oscar but Jose, despite looking so bad the other night, is a legit fighter. A true contender, a tough fighter with several good wins on his record. I am amazed sometimes how easily so called fans of the sport dismiss the non-superstars of the game with a few pecks on their keyboards
you guys cant forget the guy was inactive for 2 years, he said it himself that he did not perform like he would of liked, he made some mistakes.
also don't forget nirmal lorrick, simms trainer also trained luis collazo who also beat rivera. collazo and simms train together and have similar styles.
he should be able to get a few more good fights.
LOL, don't ask me how, but i remember giving him two rounds.
You probably gave it to Rivera because Simms was backing up, showing out, and wasting time.
He put on a great performance, but he did not dominate as thoroughly as he could have.
I gave my impressions of both fights in the lounge.
Why is it so hard to give a fighter props, that's what i hate about boxing, the fans are big assholes.
Its very simple, 'cause they don't know what the hell they're talking about. They're saying Simms doesn't have a chance against PBF who has never fought at 154 and that he doesn't have a chance against an old DLH who's last south paw he faced was Sturm and we know how that turned out.
Dont be stupid,he doesnt have a good chance of beating them,he wouldent even get past Zab let alone Mayweather,lets not get too hyped,he beat Rivera,not the greatest P4P fighter

You need to relax and not get ahead of yourself.
This was Jose Antionio Rivera, the weakest current champion.
It would be wise to wait until Simms beats a legit fighter to claim he could beat Oscar or PBF.
Yep....Exacly

LOL, I am relaxed, not the one getting all bitchy and not giving the man a shot at beating two good fighters. If you look at Simms last two fights, he KOd Terra, who was a very hard puncher and now KOd Rivera. He didn't just go in there and ran at them, he boxed nicely, had very good deffensive skills, hardly got him, outboxed them and took them out. What's your definition of a legit fighter at 154 if those two aren't?
Slick south paw, fast handed at 154, can take a punch, switches nicely from south paw to conventional. All that after a long long lay off and he doesn't stand a chance against an old, DLH and a blown up PBF. STFU and learn boxing son.

Ok ***git Travis Simms can beat the best P4P fighter in the sport 2day,naah dont think so,and Oscar's left hook would KO him,Simms is good,but he was getting tired towards the end,were talkin about Oscar,been in the ring with Whitaker Chavez Hopkins Mosley Mayorga Vargas and much more champs,i dont even think Simms would defeat his stable mate Collazo if he moved up,and i know boxing very well SON,ur just over hyping a guy who beat Rivera
Not over hyping anyone, just saying DLH is getting older and inactive, and Simms have good qualities that could give him trouble. I'm not gonna start pulling records and fighters aside, just remember what Sturm did to him. I think he has a chance, a boxers or punchers chance, you're the one who doesn't give him a chance at all.

there is plenty of money at 154.
1.spinks
2. Forrest
3. Karmazin
4. Ouma
5.Dziudurik
simms versus any of those guys would be explosive like tonight's fight. He is even moeny with the top 5 at 154.
I forget about Karmazin, he had a tough loss recently though right? I don't know about Ouma, I think he's not as good as everyone makes him out, just a workhorse.
I don't know Dziudurik.
Spinks, that would be a good fight. Did he really say 50-50 split with those guys (floyd and DLH)? No. I don't think so son.
