Did LarryXXX just own himself (again)?

[Porter's Dad]

(He has me on Ignore so I can't respond to his thread but I think this thread is worthy as a stand-alone one because the result of my hypothesis shows why boxing discourse on this site is essentially a futile exercise).

Seeing Larry crap all over Lomachenko's win was nothing out of the ordinary if you understand Larry's posting patterns. However, one thing struck me when I saw the posting in question - Larry saying he wasn't a fan of Gary Russell Jr, meaning therefore he came from an impartial standpoint.

Bitter? i was never a Russell fan nor thought he was going to be great...Lomo is an excellent fighter and should have a nice career..just stating that the historic thing isnt even history as he just won a vacen title...he is not "THE CHAMP" Sorry but the nationalistic crap doesnt fly with me at all

Now, I couldn't actually remember Larry ever saying he WAS a fan of GRJ - but I just couldn't shake the feeling that he indeed was one......again, it comes back to posting patterns. And I simply couldn't shake the feeling that this was simply a case of a butthurt poster refusing to give credit to a fighter who undressed the one they wanted to win.

So i did a little digging around (while having my morning dump).

The question I asked myself before I started my investigation was - is LarryXXX a fan of Gary Russell Jr, and as such, lied about not being a fan because it suited his agenda to belittle Loma's achievements?

Or was LarryXXX actually telling the truth - that he wasn't a fan of Gary, and as such, his criticisms, all the usual blathering about lineal titles, about Loma came from a more neutral place than one normally associates with LarryXXX?

Let's find out (I will make occasional interjections in bold).

strange according to this forum thats all he fights is bums...and why so damn negative..gary russell is talented and as a fan of boxing you should hope we have future stars with great drawing power

Gary Russell is lightning fast and a come foward fighter..

THREAD TITLE - "Cant wait to see Gary Russell perform live"

Gonna be a great night,Russell seems like the truth lets see what he's got

would love to see it,Garcia is more proven,but i think Russell is the better fighter

This thread is interesting because Larry defends Gary fighting an over-matched opponent by comparing him in a favourable light to Wladimir Klitschko, Mike Tyson and Joe Louis, using them as a measuring stick

When Wlad was 23-0 he fought donald wiggen who was 29-9-1...then when he was 24-0 fought and LOST to Ross Purity who was 24-13-1...just saying then when he was 26-1 he fought a guy named Everett Martin who was 20-29-1 then after that Tony Larosa who was 31-15

Just making a point man,Russel is not the first,not the only and will not be the last...and hell he may turn out to be great

Sounds like you just described Mike Tyson

Hell Joe Louis was fighting fighters with losing records when he was champion

Good work

Larry also pwned himself today in a thread ChampBox@PR made. It was a Mayweather meme and Larry (as usual) went totally nuts.

He was calling everyone a keyboard warrior then proceeded to threaten people in the thread. It was classy

[Weltschmerz]

I like Larry, he's a bit of a geezer.

[sdcluser]

Didn't LarryXXX say Broner is gonna be fighter of the decade.?



But yall love LarryXXX so suck it up.

JUST don't bet with him from what I heard.

[artfuL_]

Larry owning himself is so common it should really come as no surprise.

Green K for the detective work doe.

[DannYankee]

He is right about Lomachenko, but he cant be denying he was riding that dwarfs peen a little bit.

[Spray_resistant]

Larry always wants the black guy to win, that is just the truth.

[noStylez]

Not surprising.

[Larry the boss]
