This dirtbag frank warren is pathetic in his worship of ONLY brits/white fighters,this is him right about when he started writing this bs
[IMG]https://image.ibb.co/jDnquv/*****_31.gif[/IMG] looks just like him too. He hates on everything not meeting those criteria. Besides he should be too busy fixing fights for his overhyped eurobums.

Well how do you explain Brook? He's not white and Warren pampered and doted on him like a son. I'm not trying to say Frank's not biased, I don't know, but I think he's trying to get Loma in the UK vs Flanagan, so he's sucking up.

Well he's an English promoter, so of course pretty much all his clients are English along with a few Welsh and other. His only non-European client is Zolani Tete.

I presume only Brits/white fighters means Brits (black or white)/white fighters as many of his stable of Brits are black. Given he only has one non-Euro fighter (who happens to be black), then a stretch to conclude he hates on anything that isn't Brit or white.

I don't disagree but I can still clown him for slurping euro cherrypickers & writing these shîtpieces to hate on non euros while doing it.

You are talking crap. From what I've seen unless he is writing about his own fighters he is completely objective and to the point. When it comes to his own fighters he definitely is extremely biased. I don't think it has anything to do with nationality or skin colour. When there has been a brit in a tough fight against an American/latin fighter and he isn't the promoter, I've often seen him pick against the Brit, because that is what he thinks is going to happen.

By Frank Warren

You would never have guessed Terence Crawford was supposed to be up against it in the early hours of Sunday morning when he embarked on a quest to unify half of the super lightweight division, live on BoxNation.

The WBC champion, Viktor Postol, was tipped to provide the sternest examination of Crawford’s credentials at the MGM Grand Garden. With celebrated trainer Freddie Roach in his corner and having not tasted defeat in 28 professional contests, the Ukrainian was fancied in some quarters to upset the American applecart.

Crawford lands on Postol

Crawford put paid to any such notions with the kind of slick hitting we have come to expect from this artist of the ring. Perhaps the biggest compliment you can pay the 28-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska is that he makes it look easy.

The Iceman, as Postol is known, couldn’t handle the heat, touched the canvas a couple of times and was defeated by a landslide points margin.

Truth be told, he was never really in it.

Key to Crawford’s success is his footwork, he is like the cool kid on the dance floor with all the moves, making the upright Postol look awkward and robotic.

His nimble movement creates angles to snap in shots his opponents have no reply to. The comparisons with Floyd Mayweather Jnr are beginning to surface and I can see where people are coming from to an extent.

For me, however, Crawford provides a far more appealing spectacle because his primary objective isn’t just to snuff out the threat of his opponents. Yes, he is happy operating on the back foot, but he manages to fire off hurtful punches even when in retreat.

He also doesn’t mind mixing it when the situation demands and carries considerable power.

To my mind, Crawford is the best American boxer to emerge for a long, long time and, if Mayweather ever does make his return to the ring, I wouldn’t imagine he would be dialling Bob Arum to check on Crawford’s availability.

Bob was keeping his cards close to his chest when the potential match-up of Crawford and Manny Pacquiao was mooted by the media in the post-fight press conference.

I suspect Manny would prefer to go out with a **** of his own making, so will he steer clear of Crawford for his latest swansong? Bob is not short of options and Jessie Vargas is another possibility.

My old Top Rank sparring partner certainly remains on top of his game. With the likes of Crawford and Vasyl Lomachenko, he is continuing to demonstrate his knack of identifying and developing the pick of the crop in world boxing.

Another one has come off the production line in Oscar Valdez, who looked devastating in his destruction of Adrian Rueda to claim the vacant WBO featherweight title. With a record of 20-0 with 18 by KO, he looks one to keep a close eye on.

Myself and Bob have done numerous deals over many years and don’t rule out one involving the great Lomachenko sometime next year.

Didn't read your shît response after 1st paragraph you made it clear your a touched fanboi. He has written plenty of these shîtpieces where he talks shît & undeservingly hypes fighters that are white/brits & hates on others when neither are his own,(this article being a case in point)so stfu DSAB.

Who in the hell is a fan boy of a promoter?

He isn't hating on anyone. He has given Marriaga credit but said Lomachenko is special, which he is. He has also said that he needs to move up to really prove himself as a great. None of that is untrue. I can't believe you are having me defend Frank Warren lol. But you have made a snap judgement which isn't true at all. In fact - I have got annoyed with Warren in the past for not being more patriotic, but actually respect him for telling the truth on talent, and match ups.

Just from going through previous articles on here I've seen that he picked Porter close decision over Brook, and Spence over Brook. He picked Crawford over Ricky Burns, Canelo over Khan, Ward over Froch, Mayweather against everyone. Unless you have evidence of his bias, I suggest you back down.

Dumbass I dont care who he chooses if he hates on them & acts unfairly biased to certain fighters & shîts on others. I've been reading his comments for yrs. He's slurping all over lomachenko in this same article & justifying this joke mismatch while slurping some more & baselessly claiming this hypejobs better than the rest in his current division despite loma continueing on arums cherrypick tour willingly & badmouthing fighters way more PROVEN than him & acting like a diva cherrypicker. Warren is biasedly slurping all over lomas jock which is surely why your defending him so much.

[aboutfkntime]

Lomachenko's true potential will be found when he leaves Top Rank and mixes it with the other best fighters around his weightclass

Until he does all we'll hear of are failed fights with opponents who are either 'ducking him' or 'pricing themselves out' while he fights Marriaga after Marriaga

exactly

or..... he will end up like Tim Bradley

a top fighter who will not fight top guys

Ok so now you are moving the goal posts/argument, so I'll take it you feel you lost that one, but I see what the problem is now and why you have your panties in a twist.

I am not a fan of Lomachenko any more than anyone else who can see the obvious talent, and thus far what he has proved in a very short professional career.

Lomachenko is going on a cherry picking tour?

Salido
Russell
Martinez
Walters

2 weight world champion in less than 10 fights, after losing his second fight. That is some cherry picking if I have ever seen it!

You can see my post history so easily determine whether I am a Lomachenko fan boy...but I can save you time, and tell you that I clearly am not. I do think he is the best current soviet block fighter, ahead of Kovalev and GGG, I've said that since last year, he is more versatile and already has a better resume than GGG. But I am not one of these who thinks he is the best fighter on the planet bar none. He has more to prove for sure. I personally feel Crawford will have the better career. I think for Loma his career defining fights will come, I think at the moment Mikey would be the top of most peoples list, lets hope it doesn't take too long to get made.

Anyway I'm done with this...you're a child.
