Comments Thread For: Diego Pacheco rises from knockdown to hand Kevin Lele Sadjo first loss

[SouthpawRight]

Is that how that actually played out?

I think last night commentary said they fought as amateurs

[STREET CLEANER]

Opinion is okay (I don't use social media) but I'm talking about these persistently negative posters who seem to have a ubiquitous presence here.

They are insufferable people

From what I've watched of his career, this was Pacheco's first genuinely difficult night at the office. Some of that is down to Sadjo's pressure and compact frame, and the rest is Pacheco not being able to fight in a strategically advantageous way. I'm not sure if his conditioning was off from his training camp, or the game-plan + Sadjo's pressure zapped his energy, but Pacheco looked lethargic and it seemed like he was already in "battery-saver" mode early on. If Pacheco had no infighting ability, I think he would've lost last night.

For people who are doom and gloom about Pacheco, remember that he's a relatively young contender at 24. I think he'll be fine. Now he's in a position for a title shot, and hopefully we'll see Pacheco vs. Sheeraz/Mbilli before year's end.

You obviously missed a few fights ago when he went life and death with 37 year old prospect Steven Nelson, or a tentative decision over cab driver Mccumby. Pacheco was exposed a while back. He sucks. Imagine if he fought people his own size?

Sadjo is also a bum. He is a B grade version of Mbilli.

Maybe I'm used to watching the zombie apocolypse with the chemistry kits and Diego isnt a zombie.

I don't know what this means but I like it.

So you're on a personal mission to change the way boxing media operates? Hmm. Good luck with that - might as well bang your head against a wall. I've been active on this site 10 years and probably was 'lurking' 2/3 years before that. Plus also have followed all the other media out there. This site does the best job of holding belt orgs to a standard - but it is a futile pursuit; like trying to herd cats.
Belt orgs are allowed to exist by the 6 or 7 large promoting entities. They are a useful scapegoat (not that they are blameless - it is a symbiotic relationship) - it means the promoters can be manipulative and corrupt and yet the belt orgs take most of the flack - a recent example - Stephen Fulton missed weight - his promoter pleads (bribes) the WBC to create an interim belt at 135. But the belt orgs, obviously get their purse commissions - just as long as they know/realise that they need to return favours.
Just be aware of all this. No need to bleat on and on about it. If you know, you know.

Nothing you have written is unreasonable but let's return to why you responded to me in the first place: equating criticism of corrupt sanctioning bodies with personal abuse of boxers. It's not remotely the same thing.

I do find it frustrating reading the boxing media on this issue, and is something I have felt passionately about for over 20 years. I work a full time job unrelated to boxing but seem to keep better track of the various machinations of the sanctioning bodies than full time journalists. Recent examples include: the failure of the WBA to relocate to Texas; the quiet shelving of Stanionis' promised shot at the Spence - Ugas winner; the WBC's double standards with Beterbiev/Bivol and Canelo.

We've seen what can be achieved (albeit temporarily) when someone actually takes action: i.e former ABC president Mike Mazzulli threatening to withdraw recognition of the WBA. I actually reached out to and had a brief conversation with Mazzulli at the beginning of the year.

168 has a lot of work to do

Mbilli was one dimensional in his most recent outing

Osleys has been the man against light work. I think this guy will be the best of this class

TBud fate is sealed

LMAO...better than being a PACHECturd like you!

Sadjo is also a bum. He is a B grade version of Mbilli.

IIRC, he was never in danger vs. Nelson/McCumby like he was vs. Sadjo. Pacheco may be tall for 168, but he's also never missed weight and supposedly doesn't balloon either. Sheeraz is 6'3 and just moved up to 168, and Callum Smith (6'4) campaigned at 168 too. Guys like Sadjo and Mbilli seem to be shorter than average. The Sadjo fight showed how Pacheco's height can be used against him, which is something Mbilli should be able to exploit. However, Pacheco had enough skill and mettle to grind out the victory. That's ultimately what a young fighter needs to showcase if he intends on being world-level.

Sadjo may be inferior to Mbilli, but I don't think Mbilli has proven to be head-and-shoulders above his contemporaries either. He couldn't separate himself from then-unknown Lester Martinez whose best opponent was an old Gongora (also one of Mbilli's notable opponents). Mbilli vs. Sheeraz will hopefully have an emphatic ending, and hopefully we'll get Pacheco vs. the winner.

Stuff like this happens so often that it's become normalized. Another example is the WBC allowing Cissokho to be usurped by the likes of Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn. The IBF gets criticism for the quality of their rankings, but at least they've typically enforced their mandatory defenses.

[SouthpawRight]

Hahaha...what happened to Pacheco being 'the next big thing' and 'Canelo's successor'?

Told you he was NOTHING special at all and this fight exposed him badly. He gets rolled up and SMOKED by anybody with a pulse at 168lbs i.e. Crawford, Canelo, Sheeraz, Iglesias, Mbilli, Martinez, Resendiz etc.

"Told you he was NOTHING special at all".....yet you go out of your way to post something special about Pacheco, emojis and all. You are confused beyond being derogatory.

HisExcellency is just a loser troll who thinks we care about his previous posts. Imagine having as your primary motivation for logging onto a forum insulting fighters.

STFU you annoying, meddling little bitch...nobody asked for your opinion.

Btw have you managed to block the other HALF of the forum yet loser?

Her Royal Highness The Right Honourable LADY COVERDALE!

Looks like someone's having a back to back post meltdown. What percentage of this forum do you think uses it as an outlet for their anger issues and mental illness?
