    Lou is f#cking r3tared to dog Farmer now. Its not like Farmer was doing Mike Tyson sh^t up til last night. Farmer does Farmer sh^t & thats what he did last night.

    If you want excitement then why the f#ck you signing Farmer for? He ain't that guy. He's a slick boxer type.

    He does need to talk more sh^t to excite fans into wanting to see him lose. Thats the way you do it. Farmer trying to be too likeable. He needs to be more of a **** head for his own bottom line in the game, f#ck what Lou says with his baseball fan most boring sport ever love. Farmer is boring to most I get that sh^t, but he's 10x more exciting than that boring ass baseball Lou loves more than boxing.

    Mfer look like a mfing literal ***** he need to stfu.

He might get away with it for awhile against lower level guys, but regardless of what some folk seem to think on here every single fight is a risk, really ain't as much room as some folk would think for messing with a style that's taken you a lifetime to develop.

      Course though, much harder to make a breakthrough in popularity if you ain't delivering the highlight reels, so Lou's right too.
      I don't think Lou is right at all. Lou bought a Pinto. Farmer is staying a Pinto. You can't turn a Pinto in a Lambo. You can't even turn a Pinto into a muscle car. Farmer is dancing with the girl he brought to the party. Lou's acting like dude is suppose to transform his Pinto into some new flashier car.

      Thats not how things work, thats not how things should work.

      But he don't need that. He just need to be the bad guy & he can fight MORE boring & careful if he wants to. He needs to get fans emotional & mad & wanna see him lose. He'll be making more money than too. Its a win all away around.

        Farmer did what he could

        just like Golovkin in the Canelo rematch

        it's not like Farmer pleaded with his opponent to stand and fight him like a Mexican

        Sanchez also told Golovkin to stand and fight his opponent

        bottom line: Lou can give advice, Farmer will do what he can

          Farmer can box however he chooses but don’t complain about wanting bigger pay days if you can’t put bums on seats.

            Good boxers are never exciting to a casual fan if they can’t punch. That’s how it’s always been.

            If you were trying to get a friend interested in boxing, you would avoid showing them fights from some of the best fighters ever because you know they’ll fall asleep and never want to watch boxing again.

            Farmer just needs to keep winning and collecting titles and not worry about anything else.

              You gotta be f#cking joking? That is how Farmer always fought and that is why none of the match promotions or networks really invested in Farmer because of his style

              It is ****** to sign a guy to a big contract then complain about his style in which you already knew the style in which he fights in before signing him

              Farmer shouldn't change anything, hasn't lost a fight since the Pedraza fight way back in 2012

                That’s what I was thinking

                What’s he gonna do? Get into a shoot out when he hasn’t got that firepower? Lou isn’t the one that’s going to get whooped.

                Tevin is right. I personally don’t like watching him fight but don’t blame him for playing to his strengths

                  Farmer's style isn't conducive to exciting fights. So he needs to do it outside of the ring. Until he understands that he won't get bigger paydays.

                    I think Farmer is crazy exciting. Hes so good he fights with his eyes crossed to make it more fair to his opponents.

                      I'm with Farmer. I'm not a fan but his style is why he wins fights. If he changes that up he may well go on to lose winnable fights. Just do what you've got to do to win.

                      I get what Lou is saying, excitement brings more viewers. But fighters can't be what they're not.
                      I guess an option could be to be loud outside the ring, people seem to like that. Again though, if it's not how you are.
