i saw loma get dropped...and go the distance with pedraza....im gonna go around and make sure he gets dropped from all of the p4p rankings on the internet now....hes trash

It's your time, bud.....

It's your time, bud.....

right....you get the point...its ridiculous isnt it? one night.....a 12 round fight or getting dropped still makes you p4p.....but a guy who isnt p4p has a longer than expected night and hes trash now...lol...i mean think about it

you guys can talk about his punch output...but it was effective...he landed at a good clip......didnt get hit all that much.....and dropped the guy 3x...and maybe lost 1 round?

and youre all jumping down his throat....but you know what? i didnt see tank on anyones top 10 p4p list....

you guys dont even realize how ridiculous you sound sometimes

Sometimes it just fun and funny to take dumps on trash fighters.....

yeah im sure it is....but you dont have much substance behind what you say...thats kind of weak....i cant respect someone with no substance

so you say he had stamina issues which i agree with....what else was missing? i mean to me...he looked like he normally does....he did what he usually does offensively

he landed at a good rate...didnt get hit much...barely lost a round....dropped a guy 3x....

what do you think when loma goes 12 rounds with pedraza or gets off the mat?

[Mammoth]

i cant respect someone with no substance

Well, I guess it breaks my heart that you don't respect me..... Boo hoo.

Since you want to make it about Loma so bad then yeah his Pedraza performance wasn't great.

i wasnt trying to make it about loma...i can insert many names and say the same thing....guys have bad nights or great fighters dont give great performances

davis isnt p4p rated...he landed and wasnt landed on much....he knocked down the guy 3x and stopped him.....and yet people are trashing him lol

Chavez was never very good. I thought Tank would look much better. Yeah he won every round and dropped him 3 times and KOed him. He still looked lousy with an pathetic punch output. Gamboa was 38 and washed up and had been dropped and KOed so many times. Gamboa was crippled from round 3 on. How long would that Gamboa have lasted with Lopez, or Loma? I thought Tank would blast Gamboa out in 3 rounds or less.

thats the problem...everyone had a predetermined outcome in their head(probably all the same...i mean we all thought 3 rounds right)....and when it didnt happen everyone is like "wow wtf...dude sucks"

i mean...youd think loma could stop pedraza right? but he didnt....you didnt think loma would get dropped right? who thought ward would ever stop kovalev? or that golovkin wouldnt beat canelo senseless right?

its boxing....stuff happens...or doesnt happen...

tank hadnt gone 12 before.....now ill say he should be totally prepared to go 12 becaues hes fighting scheduled 12 rounders....but he hadnt done it and im not sure he thought hed be out there that long

you could tell there were times he would land and kind of had that look like "Wtf why isnt he out"....yeah he needs to be prepared to go the distance...other than that i dont think he looked any different than he usually does....he just didnt shock gamboa with his power like were used to seeing....

[_Rexy_]

stamina was def an issue....i dunno about ring iq...he seemed to do what he always does....punch output dropped with the stamina later....because he threw his power punches

i saw loma get dropped...and go the distance with pedraza....im gonna go around and make sure he gets dropped from all of the p4p rankings on the internet now....hes trash

is it possible that gamboa came in and really was tougher than everyone thought? that he was willing to leave it all on the line? its boxing...one night that didnt end as early as you would expect it doesnt spell a doomed fighter necessarily

He said after the fight that he didn't know that Gamboa was injured.


How's that for Ring IQ?

paulie and the announce team didnt either......an injured guy would probably be dragging around his leg and probably wouldnt have gotten up 3x.....

how does that relate to ring iq? lol
