Yeah, that spitting in the face shlt would have un-hinged me. Would have to smoke him for that one. There's a line and that's past it.Comment

Yeah, I saw the Lopez one. That was BS, too. Nothing but a punk for that one.
Yeah, that was a great win for Jermall and then he did that. I will say for him that he changed his mind and tried to make amends but it was ****** to do in the first place. The fight's over. Shake hands and enjoy your money. Damn.Comment

Personally i know emotions can run high pre-fight, someone talks smack to you or your family etc I always draw a line with the family business, but if its just straight trash talk then cool.Yeah, I saw the Lopez one. That was BS, too. Nothing but a punk for that one.

Once the fight is over its over, you don't have to remain humble but you can let it go. You won and the other guy is the one that would look like a d*ck.Comment

Making fun of a guy who can't hit you back, and who might even be seriously hurt is classless.
Making fun of a guy who can hit you back? It's nothing alike. It's not the same scenario, and not the same motivation.
With that being said, I've never really enjoyed showboating. I understand that it can be used as a psychological tactic, but I've never really enjoyed overt psychological warfare - even if it can be effective.Comment

Yeah, often times, I don't either but I will say this and sound like a fanboy, but Loma's showboating actally makes me laugh. And so does Usyk's. They are the only two guys I've seen pull it off in a humorous way. Most don't. But I think them messing with their opponents during the fight is far different from making fun of a man on the ground. That's just shltty.Making fun of a guy who can't hit you back, and who might even be seriously hurt is classless.

Usyk is a warrior who is a clown at heart. I think that is why he can get away with stuff. He always seems to be ready for a bit of joking around.Yeah, often times, I don't either but I will say this and sound like a fanboy, but Loma's showboating actally makes me laugh.

It isn't seen as being too disrespectful the way he does it, it is more just playing. Even when he is dominating.
Loma I think can also be a bit playful too, but I think he does it more as a psychological tool.
The problem for him is that he is so gifted, it is easy for people to see anything like him showboating as being patronising.Comment
