Comments Thread For: Warrington Wanted Valdez, Santa Cruz Before Finalizing Takoucht

Classic move.
Justify fighting THE WORST possible contender by saying You wanted to unify.

There were still probably 50 contenders in the division who'd present better challange and be more deserving than Takoucht.

...No real complains - Warrington is on tough run - but call it as it is. It's a tune-up and Takoucht is not world level fighter.

Warrington at least fights rather then talking about it. This is not the best match up, Ill give him a break cuz hes been fighting descent fights and often. I believe he wanted Valdez, Valdez not even fighting Framton. Probably will after Framton moves to 130 and chases him till 2021 after a long build up, so be at least 2021 before Warrington gets valdez. Chances are if top fighters in any division have different promoters or different viewing outlets, they will tease fans with smoke and mirrors, but never actually make meaningful fights. I have had some free time over last couple months but following the fight game turning into a waste of time

Obviously, it is easy to spot racial bias from a mile away; hence, no need for a degree in psychology to see through something clear as glass. Just as was the case when Broner said "I just beat the *** out of a Mexican!". which Broner was subsequently reprimanded by Showtime for. Or when Don Imus called a women's basketball team "Nappy-headed Hos" for which he was eventually fired from his radio show for. Or when a guy is so insecure he bolts out "First world class Mexican boxer this guy faces, he will get whooped". Doesn't take reading between the lines to see blatant insecurities; requires no clarification, no deep interpretation analysis.

Tis indeed, nationalism I can get because most of us back our countrymen in sports but feelings of racial superiority are easy to spot and should be called out.

We're on the same page.
Warrington not the worst and He can actually get a pass for fighting a lesser contender (Also it's not like Takoucht is complete bum, He's good European level fighter) - since He's active and his first 3 title fights were very high level...
...Some other Frank Warren's fighters had ridiculous title reign (Like Terry Flanagan at 135, what the ***** was that?!)...

It's jus that system is broken when guys that get a shot are not those good enough - because They can upset champion - but those Bad enough - because They can make champion look good.

To me - it's like NBA draft not taking the best talent from outside the league to make sure the league is as competitive as it gets, but rather taking some secondary players to make stars who are already in the league - like LeBron - look better and keep him on top more safely and comfortably.
Not a healthy system.

Between the promoters and the streaming outlets the fans get jacked. Tyson fury fighting bums Davis fighting bums. Warrington fighting top fighters. Hell have a harder time in the us if he can land a fight? Pbc taking the low road or doing in house! Bob thinks Valdez Framton big fight and it will be fun but its not that big. I think there was a belief that if Bob could get the deal that would be positive for fans. Guess not. Find it hard to believe DAZN is going to last. I think there wasting hella money they will never ever get back. The fact that Canelo runs them says it all. Just curios who Warrington will fight in the future? Espn has had some real **** show as well as all the other outlets getting worse and worse. Where the UFC has much more competitive fight regularly. Fury Davis could not compete on that level. TR signs fury and feeds him total trash Matchroom signs Huey and sends him right away to face the best. night and day. Got no respect anymore for T fury selling out but who can blame him, not his fault.

No boxer “runs” from any other boxer when the fight is big enough. We are talking world class, stop it with the “run” bs.

Yeah, and there's no such thing as a dominant gorilla in the wild.

Wake up. Fighters very much do see some fighters they'd rather not fight over others. They just use money as an excuse. But even when the money is huge like it was for that punk Wilder against AJ, he still ran his little sparrow legs in the opposite direction.

Real fighters are reasonable when making fights. Cowards just look to put road blocks in the way with pathetic excuses that don't wash with real fans.
