Comments Thread For: Kambosos On Father/Trainer of Teofimo Lopez: The Guy Is Bozo The Clown

[-Kev-]

I wish boxers who get snubbed and avoided would try not to repeat the cycle. This is assuming that Thurman is telling the truth about not knowing who Ennis is. I've learned from interviews that some boxers don't follow the sport closely until they have fights lined up. Thurman has been so ****ing inactive that his ignorance could be legitimate.

Yes and you read correctly. It’s like that in a lot of sports. They will only know athletes that they watched as kids. But will not know about all athletes once they start their careers. Fans are surprised when a boxer doesn’t know about another boxer. They think athletes have the same amount of time on their hands as them. To research everybody and check everyone’s resume on boxrec.

Examples: I knew less pro boxer’s names and watched less fights when I was actively sparring in a boxing gym in the Bronx. Now with all this in my hands, I follow more boxers.

Same thing with baseball. I knew less about players when I played it.

When you participate in these sports, it feels like a 24/7 thing. You just don’t have time to look up everyone’s names until they make some noise.
