That dude deserved it for pumching dirrel after the bell. You have no class if you support Jose.

Well can't wait for the rematch to see Jose lay that punk ass Dirrell out again!
What's gonna be your excuse after he does?

shes asking for that Loma paper when she has only beaten bums. She fights in the same weight class andre ward Zurdo ramirez James DeGale joe calzaghe have/had titles. Smh. There aren’t that many chicks that’s size. She’s got zero competition. Her titles don’t mean shiet.

Exactly. of about 3.8 billion women in the world, only 18 of them fight in her division, most of them fight part-time.

Unless you're the daughter of a legend you're not going to get much attention after a year of fighting.

Womans boxing as a product is hot garbage anyone who says differently isn't able to see it from a subjective line of sight. So it don't really have nothing to do with her, although her acting like a a$$hole on social media half the time I see her respond to someone likely doesn't help her out any.

And I'm a fan of Shields saying this, she's the female boxer I mention the most & she's from Michigan where I'm from so I got a baseline of support for Michigan fighters out of the gate that few probably have.

"I made world history and people act like I don't even exist".

Welcome to women's boxing.

“Whenever somebody says, ‘Oh, she shouldn’t be paid that. She has two Olympic gold medals. You should pay her just like you pay Lomachenko,’ ” Shields said, “it’s about getting respect, getting the TV time, getting the equal pay. I don’t just represent myself. I represent women’s boxing.”

Well, Loma was making 6 figures in his first handful of fights, why not check in with your promoter on this?

Flint's two-time Olympic gold medalist didn't go with the traditional powerhouse boxing promotional companies such as Golden Boy or Top Rank to push her professional career.

On Monday, the 22-year-old announced her decision to sign a promotional agreement with Salita Promotions, founded in 2010 by boxer-turned-promoter Dmitriy Salita.

Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Yeah, something tells me the money might not be there...

Yep. Being a top female boxer is like being the best fly fisherman in Minnesota. Not many people are gonna care. And good luck trying to make fly fishing more popular during your career throwing out the line.
